THE ORIGINS OF THE VALLA DRYER
The Valla Dryer was invented and patented by Mr. Valla Mauro, owner of the company, which is located in the center
of a popular, touristic town, in the heart of Valle del Taro: Borgotaro, home of the well-known mushrooms,
particularly called Boletus edulis.
Just from the experience of the local culture about mushrooms, together with the needs of mushroom-pickers and
the local restaurants arose the need to dry a huge quantity of mushrooms, which gave the birth to the patent, that
later has been proved to be very useful in many occasions... even customers themselves, reported to Mr. Valla about
new applications he could apply. Some of them were able to dry more than over 10 kg of mushrooms at a time,
reaching about 30 kg in 24 hours using continuously that single device.
