Salumificio Maison Bertolin

About

Maison Bertolin is a renowned heritage shop nestled in the heart of Aosta Valley at Champagnolaz 10 in Arnad. For more than six decades the family‑run business has become synonymous with quality and authenticity, offering an extensive range of local specialties such as the world‑famous Lardo d’Arnad DOP, traditional Valdostan cured meats, smoked salumi, cheese varieties, pastries, and regional wines. Visitors can stroll through the shop, sample a slice of the legendary Lardo or enjoy a demonstration of the traditional slicing techniques, and learn about the artisanal processes from the knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere feels steampunk infused with village charm and a strong sense of land‑heritage. The shop’s layout is designed to showcase the product line—from the “La Valdostana” section that emphasizes meat from local farms, to the “Salumeria Cotta” that displays slow‑cooked cured meats made on a wood stove and the “Pasticceria” filled with flaky pastries. The store also features an online purchase option, making it a convenient destination for the culinary curious. In addition to food, the shop offers a small range of wellbeing products, including herbal lotions, essential oils and chocolate‑infused treats, all produced in‑house with eco‑friendly packaging. The combination of tastings, background stories, and cooking classes makes Maison Bertolin an exciting stop for any food‑enthusiast or family visiting the Aosta Valley.
