Il Mongetto

Roberto Santopietro can always be found at the most important international fairs of typical Italian products. He is an tireless promoter of his product and his Monferrato. In Vignale, in fact, during the '80s he founded this beautiful reality of transformed products from the land. An adventure that he started with a small homemade production for relatives and friends of grape mustard, canned peaches, apricot and plum jams. He found the recipes in the drawer at home that his grandmother Palmira had left behind. A discovery that would change his life forever.
 

Il Mongetto and its products appreciated all over the world

Over time, the company managed to penetrate the market of food excellence, reaching Milan, Bologna, Venice, and Rome. The situation became serious, and production was no longer sustainable by the family. At this point, he founded a cooperative where several figures were included who are still part of the staff today. His children also joined, which allowed Mongetto to consolidate a broader market while remaining artisanal. The pleasantness of the products, their naturalness, the commitment to remain faithful to ancient recipes, elevating the flavors of the past without surrendering to a desire for contemporary standardization, have made Roberto Santopietro and his company an example for many other producers who have since emerged in Piedmont.
