Pancarana

Pancarana, a Lombard municipality on the right bank of the Po river in Oltrepò Pavese, serves as a crucial point for Italy's protected food heritage. Its fertile lands and established traditions contribute to a unique terroir. Here, among 14 total protected denominations, the craft behind Coppa di Parma IGP thrives, a celebrated cured meat whose production zone spans 439 municipalities. The specific microclimate of the Po plain, coupled with long-standing regional methods, also fosters the distinct character of Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP cheeses. This makes Pancarana a vital contributor to Lombardy's cherished gastronomic landscape.
