PLEASURES OTHER THAN SHOPPING: TRUFFLES AND OTHER DELICACIES.

The black and white truffles of the Curone, Grue and Ossona are renowned all over the world, and give the local cuisine its strong flavour. The various taste itineraries also offer a wide variety of tasty cheeses, cooked and raw salamis and good wine.

And we must not forget the sweets: baci di dama, cream filled cannoncini, zabaglione and chocolate, amaretti with chocolate and torrone, and the typical Krumiri from Casale Monferrato.

Visitors who wish to enjoy the charms of these valleys at their leisure, have a choice between sleeping in farmhouse accommodation in the peace of areas renowned for their culture, or in hotels on the slopes of the Scrivia valleys.
