What grows here
Cesano Boscone
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cesano Boscone, while fully conurbated with metropolitan Milan in Lombardy, holds a pivotal position for Italy's protected food heritage. This specific corner of the Milanese plain contributes to the origins of no fewer than 14 distinct denominations. Among these, the region's strong dairy history ensures the precise conditions for specialties like Salva Cremasco DOP, a traditional pressed cheese, alongside the creamy Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and the aromatic Taleggio DOP. Its location, closely tied to a major urban hub yet within Lombardy's productive agricultural expanse, fosters a unique environment where these celebrated regional products thrive, linking city life with profound local flavours.
