Usseaux
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Usseaux, a compact community of just 176 residents nestled in Piedmont's Metropolitan City of Turin, embodies a profound connection to its alpine environment. This specific geography fosters the distinctive raw materials essential for several protected foods and spirits. Among the 13 total denominations that overlap this territory, the highly local Genepì del Piemonte IG spirit finds its ideal home, nurtured by the region's unique wild flora. Furthermore, the robust traditions of cheesemaking, honed by the landscape, allow for the production of the esteemed Toma Piemontese DOP. The confluence of a dedicated, small population and this distinct high-altitude terrain makes Usseaux a vital point on ItalyTasteMap.
