Albergian is the name of a mountain in Val Chisone 3043 m high, opposite Pragelato, where in 1908 a story full of taste began, made with recipes and ingredients from the mountains of Piedmont: natural delights to make life better.
For 4 generations, every product and process has been cared for by a family person, from the selection of raw materials to production and packaging. Liqueurs, jams, honey, candies, and other gourmet specialties: everything is produced strictly by hand, with the wisdom and care that give birth to true goodness, using raw materials from small farms to support the local micro-economy and reduce transportation-related pollution.
As Giacomo Tillino, President of Albergian, tells us, "Our company has always followed seasonality and selected the best local products from local producers, with whom we go beyond the economic aspect and maintain personal and friendly relationships. Because knowing the provenance of raw materials means ensuring that the authenticity and goodness that have always been the hallmark of Albergian can be found in the products."
An unavoidable attention to the territory that expands to the importance of traceability, which, Giacomo continues, "we believe in very much. In fact, our entire supply chain is certified with with Italcheck (www.italcheck.it) as 100% Made in Italy, offering our customers all over the world the opportunity to inform themselves about what we produce."
WHERE TO FIND ALBERGIAN PRODUCTS
Albergian's stores are located in Pinerolo, Pragelato, Giaveno, Bardonecchia and Sestriere; the company is listed in the Register of Historical Enterprises of Italy, has received the Gambero Rosso award as Italy's Excellence in Jams and Artisan Excellence from the Piedmont Region, and has been synonymous with quality for more than 100 years.
Not only quality but also sensitivity to current issues: committed for many years to offering products with strong ties to the land, the company has no doubt that this is the right road to contiunate on.
In fact, Giacomo concludes, "All the more so at this delicate moment in history where there is a growing awareness that the loss of biodiversity is a serious ongoing process, we are proud that our corporate philosophy is active in its preservation. A practical example among all is the Rosehip, of which our mountains are rich but which is hardly harvested and processed. Instead, by doing so, we make quality products, contribute to the recognition and cultivation of this specific type of rose and at the same time prevent its oblivion."
