The warehouses

look at the videoclip

   

Besides the Saint Christophe's seat the Cooperative counts also eight cheese maturing warehouses excavated in the rocks which can store about 200.000 cheeses.
Most part of the storehouses were former military depots used in the last world conflict.
The storehouse of Valpelline deserves a special attention because its the wider cheese maturing structure of Aosta Valley with a total capacity of 200.000 cheeses.
This warehouse was once the adit for an old copper mine exploited until 1946 and still today the handling of the chesees is done by using the same tracks used once for the mineral.
