What grows here
Mede
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In Lomellina's southwestern plain, where the Po, Agogna, and Sesia rivers define the landscape, lies Mede, a Lombardy municipality contributing to 14 protected Italian food and wine denominations. This specific riverine plain, with its fertile soils, naturally fosters a tradition of refined culinary products. The esteemed Coppa di Parma IGP takes shape here, alongside the distinct Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP, products deeply rooted in local animal husbandry and curing traditions. Furthermore, renowned cheeses such as Quartirolo Lombardo DOP draw their unique character from this environment. Mede's specific terroir, shaped by these very waterways, imbues these celebrated denominations with their characteristic flavors, reflecting centuries of local expertise.
