What grows here
Piscina
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The municipality of Piscina, in Piedmont's Torino province, bears a name echoing ancient water structures, much like the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro, a 12-meter by 7-meter marvel from the 3rd millennium BC. Here, however, the local identity is defined by specific culinary excellence. This area contributes to a remarkable 13 protected denominations. Crucially, Piscina falls within the precisely defined zone for Crudo di Cuneo DOP, a ham produced across only 418 municipalities. The distinct flavors of Toma Piemontese DOP and Vitelloni Piemontesi della Coscia IGP also emerge from this specific territory, testifying to unique conditions shaping these highly localized food traditions.
