What grows here
Colere
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Colere, in Lombardy's Bergamo province, extends across dramatic altitude variations, from its 751-meter valley floors to the majestic 2521-meter Presolana peak. This alpine landscape provides distinct conditions for exceptional protected foods. It is within these very boundaries that 14 unique denominations find their origin or designated area. Foremost among them is the Salva Cremasco DOP cheese, a square-shaped delicacy whose specific maturation process thrives in the local microclimates. Also integral to the region is Quartirolo Lombardo DOP, its distinctive characteristics shaped by the unique mountain pastures and long-standing dairy practices inherent to this high-altitude terrain.
