The farm “Al Fusinaro” is located in the small town of Monchio delle Corti on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in the Upper Cedra Valley within the Parco dei Cento Laghi.
The farm is fed by the cool waters of the Cedra Creek in Valditacca, where their temperature reaches a maximum of 15° in the summer months.
The plant, which is very modest in size, is built in nature , protected by the embrace of large sandstone boulders and chestnut forests, leaving the surrounding landscape “almost wild” and natural as if it were the course of the river.
Trout Farming was founded in the early 1960s on the idea of Ilvio Malmassari (born 1923), who was commissioned by the Province of Parma to produce brown trout for restocking local streams.
After a few years, Ilvio decided to produce only rainbow trout, for sale and consumption in his trattoria, named, precisely, “Al Fusinaro” in honor of the place where it stands.
Around the early 1990s, the hatchery for fry production was decommissioned and only trout were brought in to grow to adult trout suitable for consumption.
Trout farming remains active until 2018 .
In 2020, after a period of suspension, the activity was resumed by his granddaughter Monica, with the intention of continuing the process started by her grandfather, but above all not to forget the promise made to him to honor the work accomplished in a whole life with the memory of a happy childhood among woods and Creek.
