Occitan and Piedmontese cuisine made with high-quality local products: that's the secret behind the flavors of this valley. The excellence of the meats, the skillful use of vegetables, artisan cheeses, precious honeys, and forest treasures come together in unique creations. From Torta Mato, a typical savory pie, to fresh Tajarin pasta, to Dòba, a special stew, finishing on a sweet note with Torta di Tetti, Martin Sec cooked in red wine, or the sweet Persi Pien. The signature dish is Bagna Cauda, whose main ingredient, the anchovy, is celebrated in the Anchovy Workers Museum. Anchovies in the mountains? Come to the valley to discover their story!
