What grows here
Candia Lomellina
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Candia Lomellina, a community of 1,579 inhabitants in the Pavia province, is rooted in the fertile Lomellina plain, a landscape historically shaped by water and agriculture. This unique environment fosters a remarkable array of protected food and wine origins. Among the 14 denominations overlapping here, the area is intrinsically linked to specialties like Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP, a goose salami reflecting local poultry traditions, and Grappa lombarda IG, a spirit distilled from regional grape pomace. The distinctive characteristics of the plain also contribute to revered cheeses such as Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP, embodying centuries of dairy craftsmanship specific to Lombardy.
