Located in the small town of Bra (just outside of Alba) is Giolito Cheese, where a bewildering array of locally produced cheeses can be sampled and purchased. The friendly staff guide visitors through a sampling process and help them choose the best one to take home with them.
Shopping
Cuneo is a town where you can find a lot of specialty shops, factory stores and galleries for music and art. Wine, cheese and especially chocolate are particular specialties of the region, and it is very much worth it to explore a bit beyond the city itself to the nearby towns of Alba, Bra, Mondovi and Savigliano, among others, to find the very best offerings.
