What grows here
Lanzada
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Lanzada, within Lombardy's Valmalenco, where the Lanterna torrent carves its path, is a cradle for distinct Italian flavors. This alpine setting is crucial to its gastronomic identity, fostering ideal conditions for its 12 protected denominations. Rooted in the specific climate and centuries-old traditions of the Sondrio province, the air-cured Bresaola della Valtellina IGP, the hearty Pizzoccheri della Valtellina IGP, and the unique Valtellina Casera DOP cheese are born here. The higher pastures also contribute significantly to Bitto DOP, a testament to the region's enduring dairy craft. Each product tells a story of this singular mountain environment.
