San Giacomo Vercellese, a municipality situated in Italy's Vercelli province, embodies Piedmont's agricultural character. This land, once known as Cascine San Giacomo until 1964, has historically provided the fertile ground for distinct local produce. Here, the unique interplay of soil and climate nurtures the acclaimed Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, a protected rice variety whose production zone spans just 28 municipalities. This specific terroir also contributes to the quality of regional foods like Toma Piemontese DOP. Today, one dedicated producer within San Giacomo Vercellese actively maintains this rich legacy, contributing to ItalyTasteMap's findings.
