What grows here
Bollate
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Bollate, a municipality of Milano's metropolitan area and one of eleven within the Parco delle Groane, plays a distinct role in Italy's protected food and wine landscape. This specific environment, a parkland setting amidst urban development, fosters conditions crucial for the production or processing of no fewer than 14 protected denominations. Among these are the venerated Salva Cremasco DOP, a firm, square cheese historically matured in local cellars, and the fresh Quartirolo Lombardo DOP. The municipality's unique blend of environmental factors and historical proximity to trade routes contributes to the enduring character of these essential Lombard specialties.
