What grows here
Polonghera
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Polonghera, a quiet Piedmontese settlement of just 1,124 residents in the Cuneo province, nurtures agricultural conditions that shape 17 protected denominations. The local climate and alluvial soils feed the prized Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a high-quality bean cultivated within a restricted zone of 247 municipalities. This land also yields the distinct Bra DOP and Raschera DOP cheeses. Polonghera's specific terroir bridges the Alpine foothills and the Po basin, providing the ideal dampness and pasture-influenced feed necessary for these legendary Piedmontese dairy and legume varieties to thrive.
