Gourmet products local specialties and wines Vercelli

On Sunday lunchtimes, for the traditional family meal, pastries from Follis can be found on the Vercellesi tables. It's been their favorite pastry shop since 1904! This historic shop offers, among other things, the classic bicciolani, shortbread cookies with spices, and tartufata, a whipped cream cake topped with hazelnuts and chocolate flakes... After admiring the store's lovely period décor and enjoying a few tastings on site, you'll want to take these sweets home with you in your suitcases. Second point of sale Corso Torino, 81.

For decades, this ice cream parlour has been delighting Vercellesi of all ages, who flock here in all seasons. Follow in their footsteps! Carefully prepared, artisanal recipes guarantee delicious flavours, including, of course, gianduja (chocolate praline), one of the best. An adjoining cafeteria prepares perfect coffees. And to take your indulgence to the next level, ask for a delicious cloud of whipped cream to be added on top... Heavenly! The welcome is also very friendly.

Carnaroli, arborio, baldo... If these names don't ring a bell, it's because you're not yet familiar with rice from Vercelli, Novara and the surrounding area. But don't panic: in this designer store (the only one in town dedicated to this crop, with top-quality, 100% Italian rice), the "rice sommeliers" will explain it all to you! Of course, you'll be able to walk away with the ideal rice for your risotti, as well as rare, red and black rices... and many other gourmet products.
