A Taste of the Mountains

Gianni and Stella Dalmasso, along with their children, spend the summer season in the mountain pasture of "Pian del Re" Alp, where they graze their exclusive herd of over 200 Piemontese cattle. These magnificent animals not only provide high-quality meat but also yield milk that is hand-milked and transformed into delicious mountain pasture cheeses in the small farm dairy.
