Fruit and vegetables

Cycling through vast expanses of orchards and fields that colour the territory of Cuneo and its surroundings, you will discover lots of products characteristic of the local gastronomic identity.

Try juicy Madernassa pears from the Grana Valley, sweet round apricots from Costigliole and tasty strawberries from Peveragno, while the earth has its own treats with Caragilio garlic and its unmistakable delicate aroma. Climbing through the lush woods in the valleys, chestnut trees reign supreme and, as well as providing delicious honey, there is also their gift of the famous chestnuts, mainly enjoyed roasted to herald the imminent arrival of winter. Exported all over Europe, Cuneo chestnuts are harvested in more than one hundred municipalities in the province and represents a long-standing tradition in this art, handed down from generation to generation.
