Restaurants Association
of the Canavese tradition
The “Association of Canavese Tradition Restaurants” was born in 1996 from the idea of some Canavese restaurateurs with the aim of preserving and promoting local food and wine. The intent is to enhance the territory and in particular food and wine through some clear common objectives such as the spread of recipes that have disappeared or fallen into disuse, the use of indigenous raw materials, the promotion of the territory and the local food and wine culture also thanks to important events that go beyond Italy.
Our symbol: La Tofeja
The stylized tofeja, with the representation of the flame in the lower part which at the same time is a reference to the classic dovetail merlons of the castles, is our logo that seals the union between territory and food and wine: the castles and the Canavese cuisine.
To welcome each of our rooms there is a terracotta tofeja from Castellamonte.
Local products and traditional dishes
Some of our restaurants are located in mountain areas, others near lakes and others in cities of art but the specialties proposed according to seasonality are common to all and satisfy even the most demanding palates.
With the approach of autumn the classic stuffed onions, cabbage soup, and Caponet (rolls of Verza di Montalto Dora stuffed with meat) are not to be missed, as well as dishes based on porcini mushrooms, chestnuts and vine fruits . On colder winter days, the typical Tofeja (bean soup and pork rinds cooked for hours on low heat in the typical terracotta pot of Castellamonte) and products derived from pork processing such as potato salami, batsoà, the financier alla Bagna Caoda and the great mixed fried food of the Piedmontese tradition.
Among the lake fish we remember the whitefish of Lake Viverone. Do not miss the exquisite Valchiusella trout, as well as local cheeses, each with flavors and aromas typical of its own valley including the salignun, the tomini, the Tometta di Trausella and the Cevrin della Valchiusella.
In spring, when the snow melts and the first grass grows, it is time for spontaneous herbs: the chefs then let themselves be inspired by their creativity by offering fresh and delicious dishes as well as the traditional ajucca soup, the undisputed queen of the season.
Desserts include martin secs cooked in Carema red wine and spices, Bonet, Zabajone with Erbaluce di Caluso Passito accompanied by Torcetti with butter or Chivasso Nocciolini or other dry pastry specialties including Paste di Meliga and Canestrelli .
