Valais craftsmanship at its finest

The origins of dried meat in Valais date back to the 14th century.

Its increasing popularity has led to the professionalisation of this very traditional craft over the past few decades.

So that anyone interested can experience for themselves how the method of preserving meat works at the highest level, this workshop gives everyone an insight into this time-honoured Valais tradition of preserving "salting and air-drying meat". At the workshop in the "Clemenz" house on the village square in Simplon Dorf, where the Molinari meat drying plant and Ristorante Molinari are located, you will learn about this age-old Valais craft
under the expert guidance of master butcher Fabian Molinari.
