What grows here
Limone Piemonte
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
High in the Maritime Alps near the historic Colle di Tenda pass—which has marked the French border since 1947—Limone Piemonte’s steep slopes and alpine microclimate shape its distinct gastronomic identity. This transit hub hosts 18 protected denominations, led by local specialties like Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a delicate bean grown across a zone of 247 municipalities. The alpine pastures also yield Raschera DOP and Bra DOP, cheeses produced within a territory of 248 municipalities, while high elevations foster the aromatic herbs used in Genepì del Piemonte IG, capturing the pure alpine terroir.
