OUR INGREDIENTS
We believe that excellence derives first and foremost from the choice of ingredients we use, such as the Molino Mandelli flour, made from grains from Ovada and the surrounding area in southern Piedmont, free from artificial additives and unnecessary processing.
In all our recipes, we use only extra virgin olive oil and completely avoid animal lard to cater to a broader range of customers.

OUR STORY
Flour is an integral part of my being...
I took over the business, completely transforming it, with a keen focus on the choice of ingredients, their origin, and above all, their quality.
After classical studies, I served in the Alpini corps during my military service. I then attended a cheese-making course at the Stanga Institute at Pandino, where, in addition to cheese-making techniques, I also learned about food microbiology. From there, I contributed to establishing the Cooperative Consortium′s dairy of the Genoa Valleys and worked as the production manager for fresh cheeses, aged cheeses, and yoghurt.
My curiosity in the food industry grew, and I began attending numerous courses in cooking, baking and pastry-making.
In 2014, I graduated as a sommelier with AIS in Alessandria, later becoming a cheese taster with ONAF in Genoa.
However, my real passion can be traced back to my family′s history: my ancestors were the first bakers at Rossiglione, starting way back in 1875.
I often like to remember an old baker′s saying that tells how flour enters your bloodstream and somehow becomes part of your being.
