Macelleria Bonat In Mezzano

Tastings from Space and Memories from Earth 🌌🏡 Participating in a tasting at Macelleria Bonat is a little journey through time and memory. Luigi, with the passion of a philosopher, told us about the natural and ethical cured meats, crafted with care. Tasting the mortandela took us back to the aromas and flavors of childhood, reawakening deep and moving emotions. Each slice is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and savor life, rediscovering the beauty of simple and genuine things.

A whole other planet! Just as Luigi describes himself, his creations come from a mind that isn't earthly because they're spacey. They can't be described in words because only by listening to his "explanation" and then tasting his creations can you truly realize you'll never be able to eat cured meats the same way again. It's like being a guest at a friend's house who wants to share with you their enthusiasm not only for what they allow you to enjoy together but also their infectious joy for life. I'd also like to thank Simonetta, Luigi's earthly companion, who is as sweet as his creations!

Five stars are for Luigi's products, which to say they're good is an understatement. They deserve a thorough try, along with the "Alien" explanation. Another five stars, if I could add them, are for the friendliness and, above all, the philosophy found in this little shop. Stop by, we're all just passing through. (quote)

Well done, keep making great products with heart.

Thinking of finding a classic butcher shop? You'll be amazed. Take a few extra minutes and let me take you on a journey through this story of passion, genius, and madness. Luigi 10+

Trentino always offers wonderful surprises. Just a couple of kilometers from Fiera di Primiero, I recommend a tasty and fun stop. A sensory journey for the senses, both smell and taste. In Mezzano, there's an artist who delights in inspiring emotions with his unique and rare cured meats. He makes them himself, rediscovering ancient traditions and giving voice to the aromas and flavors of the region. Macelleria Bonat is worth more than a visit, as long as you're not in a hurry. Luigi Valline isn't looking for tourists, but for travelers who still have a taste for discovery. Before you taste his delicacies, made with quality ingredients and ancient techniques that don't involve the use of chemicals, you'll have to listen to the "spiegone," as Luigi, a speaker, photographer, musician, and much more, calls it. The "explogone" helps you understand how the lonzetta with wild mint and stevia is made, as well as the guanciale with wild oregano or the speck with BioNoc' beer (another Mezzano excellence, gold and bronze medalist at the 2024 World Beer Championships in Barcelona). A separate chapter is deserved by the mortandela, the ancestor of mortadella, brought back to life and combined with the chef's expertise. We met Luigi and his wife Simonetta thanks to Valerio's guide, but if you want to spend 40 minutes tasting and full of curiosity, it's definitely worth it. In Palermo dialect, we would have summed it up as "U miegghiu" (literally, "I'll migghiu").

A place where you can truly find a blend of research and tradition. The good Luigi is the story of a lifetime spent trying to explain his discoveries. I assure you, his "baptism" offers a blend of flavors and emotions. A must-try.

It's not just a "butcher shop" or a "delicatessen," but a world unto itself, nestled like a precious gem in the setting of Mezzano, one of Italy's most beautiful and characteristic suburbs. Trusting Luigi and Simonetta's advice is the best way to enjoy and savor their experience in the local food industry and beyond. There's a lot of hard work and sacrifice behind it: they're truly talented and friendly.

GREAT GUYS!!! Delicious food and they welcomed us with love and good vibes!! 100% recommended

This butcher shop (even though Luigi, the owner, only half considers himself one) is truly a pleasure for anyone who loves good produce, meats, and charcuterie. A huge, huge selection is available, whatever you're looking for. Luigi, the owner, embodies one word: passion. Every single one of his products has a story, which he enjoyed (and it showed) telling us. And we enjoyed listening to him too! A huge thank you to him, his wife Simonetta, and their products!
