Formigliana
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Formigliana, a modest municipality of 484 residents within the Vercelli province of Piemonte, sits amidst the very terroir that defines Italian rice cultivation. Its specific geography, characterized by ample water resources and fertile soils, provides the ideal conditions for what is arguably its signature product: Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP. This distinct rice, protected across a zone of just 28 municipalities, embodies the local land. Beyond this staple, Formigliana also shares in the origin of 13 other acclaimed products, making it a pivotal point for a total of 14 protected denominations, including the broader Toma Piemontese DOP and Salame Piemonte IGP.
