Collio

Perched in the rugged upper reaches of the Trompia Valley, Collio’s high-altitude geography dictates its robust dairy character. This mountainous Brescia territory yields the herbal pasture grasses essential for crafting Nostrano Valtrompia DOP, a prestigious, saffron-hued cheese limited to a production zone of just 19 municipalities. It represents the pinnacle of the 16 protected denominations crossing the area. Culinary travelers can explore this heritage through Collio’s 3 verified producers, including 1 alpine estate that opens its doors to visitors for firsthand tastings of these traditional mountain wheels.
