Nasce Biova Mirafiori, il sesto prodotto del paniere MA.MI food - Made in Mirafiori è la birra prodotta dal pane invenduto delle panetterie di quartiere.
Biova Project joins the producers of the MA.MI food - Made in Mirafiori basket with Biova Mirafiori, a beer made from unsold bread sourced from Mirafiori’s bakeries.
MA.MI food – Made in Mirafiori is a new brand bringing together local producers and processors who adhere to its "charter of values." They’ve chosen Biova Project to help spread Mirafiori’s identity—not just through sustainability and product quality, but above all by celebrating food culture.
Biova Mirafiori embodies all of our company values, where community, innovation, environmental respect, and waste reduction come together to create something tangible. For us—Torino natives at heart and by residence—uniting different parts of Mirafiori’s social fabric is a major step toward creating more sustainable, thoughtful, and fun food products that foster neighborhood pride and identity
says Franco Dipietro, founder and CEO of Biova Project
MA.MI food and Biova Project team up against waste
Using unsold bread collected in less than a week from five neighborhood bakeries, Biova Mirafiori was brewed in May. This craft beer is a Kölsch-style bread beer, a light German-inspired brew that’s refreshing and surprising, with a savory finish thanks to the natural salt from the bread.
Its flavor is as striking as the initiative behind it—replacing up to 30% of barley malt in production by using reclaimed bread.
With Biova Mirafiori, we achieved real resource savings and a reduced environmental impact:
70 kg of reclaimed bread → 1,250 liters of beer
680 kg of CO₂ emissions saved

Where to find it
The 3,750 limited-edition 33cl bottles of Biova Mirafiori will be available at 20 bars and shops across Mirafiori and the city—another step forward in experimenting with innovations for Mirafiori’s urban food system.
