What grows here
Parona
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Parona, positioned in the northern Lomellina plain between the Agogna and Terdoppio rivers in Lombardy, provides a specific environment conducive to exceptional Italian food origins. This low-lying, fertile area is critical for the characteristics of its local produce. Among the 14 protected denominations designated here, the municipality contributes to the production zones of Coppa di Parma IGP and the distinctive Quartirolo Lombardo DOP cheese. Its unique geography, shaped by these waterways, ensures the specific qualities required for these and other regional specialities like Taleggio DOP and Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP to thrive here, authenticating their birthplace.
