The town of Monforte is located in the Piemonte region of Italy known for white truffles, wine (Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, etc), cheese, salumi, hazelnuts and many more culinary delicacies. They stock some of the best quality product from local producers in the region in addition to their own products (wine, salumi) and delicious aged meats. If you're visiting Monforte, this is a must! It's the best place to stock up on delicious goodies that are unique to region and truly made at family owned farms. Go there for the best hazelnut creme you'll ever taste. Go there for truffle oils and salts, chocolates to take home to friends. And if you're staying in the area for a while, make sure to make it one of your grocery stops. It's family run and you will see Bruno Roddolo there pretty much every day, except Tuesday, because they're closed along with all the other businesses in the town center.

They have... * Dry-aged steaks just waiting for you to indulge. * A huge assortment of preserved slice-able meats waiting for you to ask for a serving. * Seasoned and prepared meats for those unwilling to do it themselves. * More cheese varieties than I know what to do with. I decided picking randomly was the correct approach. It worked! * Fresh vegetarian pasta to break up the potential meat monotony. They were more than patient with my poor Italian pronunciation and let me pick out a few items to enjoy. I don't think tourists normally go here because most tourists stay at a hotel and can't enjoy a fresh self-prepared meal. I, on the other hand, have an apartment with a kitchen and we stocked up for a week of late night snacks!
