In Villanova Canavese, a small community within the metropolitan area of Turin in Piedmont, the land itself dictates the unique character of its produce. This municipality, situated in the historic Canavese region, is a crucial anchor for 12 protected denominations. Foremost among these is Toma Piemontese DOP, a cheese whose zone encompasses 886 municipalities and embodies centuries of local dairy craft. Furthermore, the region’s specific pastures and traditions are central to the Vitelloni Piemontesi della Coscia IGP, highlighting the prized Piedmontese cattle raised precisely here.
