Monasterolo di Savigliano

Within the Piedmontese plains of Cuneo, the small municipality of Monasterolo di Savigliano—home to just over 1,300 residents—supplies the specific sandy-loam soils required to cultivate Fagiolo Cuneo IGP. This specialized bean is grown across a restricted territory of 247 municipalities. The local lowland pastures also feed the dairy herds behind regional cheeses like Raschera DOP and Bra DOP. In total, 17 protected food and wine denominations overlap this single commune, anchoring this quiet agrarian locality directly into the core of northern Italy's culinary heritage.
