Azzone

Situated on the left bank of the Dezzo stream within Lombardy's Scalve Valley, Azzone, a Bergamo province municipality, enjoys a distinct alpine microclimate. This high-altitude setting, approximately 47 kilometers northeast of Bergamo city, is pivotal in shaping the character of local produce. The conditions here are particularly suited for renowned cheeses; notably, Salva Cremasco DOP, with its specific aging demands, finds its ideal environment. Azzone’s territory is part of the production zone for 14 protected denominations, including other distinguished Lombard specialties like Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP, reflecting the area's specific, rich gastronomic identity.
