Meet the suppliers:
Antica Macelleria Malavasi
Roberto Malavasi & Rosa Latte

Husband and wife team Roberto Malavasi and Rosa Latte have had the butcher shop in Via Jacopo Dal Verme since November 1st 1970. Roberto started when he was just a teenager and now hopes to hand the business down to his son Marco.
The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into Roberto’s shop is that there is always a cue. Morning, evening, weekend or weekday there is always someone. Sometimes they are waiting in line and sometimes they are there just to chat but you’ll never find an empty shop unless of course you try to visit during their lunch hour.
The next thing you’ll notice are the chickens. They are so clean it looks like they had pedicures before calmly taking off their feathers and lying down in the fridge. This purity comes through in the taste of the meat once cooked. This is real farm fresh.
Next to the chickens you’ll find finely selected cuts of pork and beef from Piemonte. Not only does Malavasi butcher the meat that comes into his shop, he visits the farms in the Astigiano region to personally select each animal for his shop and negotiates with the farmer directly.
