Faule

Home to 470 residents in Piedmont's Cuneo province, the compact municipality of Faule thrives on the fertile alluvial soils of the Po basin. These flat, water-rich plains nurture the Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a delicate bean grown within a defined zone of 247 municipalities. In total, Faule's agricultural territory hosts 17 protected denominations, including the seasoned Raschera DOP and Bra DOP cheeses. The local damp microclimate and silt-heavy earth provide the exact moisture and soil structure required to cultivate these specific legumes and age these regional cheeses.
