Olevano di Lomellina
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
On the flat Lomellina plain, merely 800 meters from the Agogna river's left bank, lies Olevano di Lomellina, a rural village of 728 inhabitants that serves as a silent powerhouse of regional flavours. This fertile landscape has long cultivated the unique agricultural practices essential for its acclaimed specialties. Foremost among them is the iconic Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP, a goose salami deeply rooted in the area's historical husbandry. Olevano's pastoral environment also contributes to the distinct character of Lombard cheeses such as Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP, alongside Grappa lombarda IG. In total, this unassuming municipality plays a role in fostering 14 protected food and wine denominations, embodying the deep connection between land and heritage.
