​CURED
MEATS AND CHEESES TYPICAL OF LANGA 

Monforte d'Alba -  ​It is a hilltop town in the heart of Langhe, the red-roofed houses look proudly at the vineyards and renew every day the thrill of life in the sunlight or in the secret darkness of the cellars.
This is where our tradition was born in 1945. In this small strip of land the roots of my family are born, which started with my grandfather Roddolo Enrico, a butcher who knew how to transmit his desire to share the flavours, aromas and traditions of his land to his son Carlo and now to me Roddolo Bruno. With the skilful use of the inimitable climate, our SALAMI are matured and reach those perfections reminiscent of those of a Verdi symphony. In fact, if its cold, wet and foggy winters and its sunny and sultry summers, which make people's brains cook, are a curse for the inhabitants, but for the cured meats constitute the basic element of their seasoning, which is also linked to the humid environments of its ancient cellars, with thick walls oozing with saltpetre.

​The humidity, which "breaks the bones" to men, after the first short drying period that varies from cured meat to cured meat, and during which a fairly dry and moderately heated environment is essential, serves to keep them soft and to allow their characteristic slow maturation, which gives them softness and sweetness, as well as that incomparable flavour and intense aroma. From the magnificent natural sceneries of the high Langhe and from the steep valleys of Cuneo where, even today, the cattle feed on uncontaminated natural pastures, our CHEESES are born, which are products of the traditional culture of the Langhe peasants and of the shepherds breeders of the 
Cuneo Alps. The TUME are the oldest and most traditional Langa cheese, because the fascinating Langhe peasant world is not only wine  and truffles, but the sour scents of the fresh forms that over time become harmony of aroma and taste.
