Marmora

Marmora’s alpine territory, a fragmented community of just 55 residents in the Cuneo province, fosters a specialized agricultural output. Across these scattered mountain hamlets, 18 protected denominations overlap. The high-altitude climate shapes the distinct profile of Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a local bean restricted to a 247-municipality zone, alongside mountain-crafted Raschera DOP cheese. This rugged alpine environment, where steep slopes dictate the pace of farming, concentrates flavors in the crops and yields the pristine herb-rich pastures required for these certified specialties, making this secluded Piedmontese enclave a crucial micro-terroir.
