Local Gastronomic Shops

Beyond large supermarkets, La Thuile boasts several charming local shops ('botteghe') specializing in Aostan gastronomic delights. These include 'La Boutique des Saveurs Valdôtains' or smaller delis where one can find regional specialties like Fontina cheese, Lard d'Arnad, Jambon de Bosses, mocetta (cured venison or beef), local honey, and artisanal jams. These shops provide an authentic taste of the valley and are perfect for purchasing souvenirs or ingredients for a self-catered meal. Prices vary by product but reflect the quality and local sourcing. Opening hours are generally standard retail hours, with some closures during lunch.
