What grows here
Covo
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Covo, nestled within the fertile Lombard plain of Bergamo province, stands as a vital origin point for Italy's esteemed food heritage. This corner of Lombardy, shaped by centuries of agricultural tradition, fosters a unique terroir that is indispensable to its prized denominations. Here, the conditions are perfect for creating Salva Cremasco DOP, a square-shaped cheese with savoury notes, and two other regional icons: Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP. These, among a remarkable total of 14 protected denominations overlapping Covo's territory, embody a legacy of local craftsmanship. The region's rich pastures and specific environmental characteristics ensure each product, particularly Salva Cremasco DOP, carries an identity intrinsically tied to this distinct landscape.
