Cantoira

Within the Piedmontese Alps, approximately 48 km northwest of Turin, lies Cantoira, home to 650 inhabitants whose livelihoods are intimately linked to their alpine environment. This specific microclimate is crucial for the birth of distinguished products. Among the 13 protected denominations overlapping here, the aromatic spirit Genepì del Piemonte IG thrives, cultivated from local alpine herbs. Similarly, the rich milk from high-altitude grazing underpins the creation of Toma Piemontese DOP, a celebrated cheese. Cantoira’s unique natural setting thus directly shapes these distinct flavors, offering a genuine taste of its rugged mountainous character.
