Bonne Vallée – Chappoz agricultural farm – Baked products
Resort: Donnas
‘Bonne Vallée’ was established in the heart of the Lower Aosta Valley in Vert, a charming village located on the right side of the Dora Baltea river in the municipality of Donnas, with the aim of reviving the ancient and genuine flavours of the past.
In 1990 the first success was achieved in the rotational cultivation of the ‘potato-corn’. Furthermore, the rediscovery of an old wood-burning oven opened a new and exciting path: the production of rye bread following natural sourdough fermentation methods.
In the farmhouse surrounded by corn fields, the owners dedicate themselves to the production of baked products using various kinds of cereals, free from unnatural tampering.

Pies, micòoula and farin’el bread
