What grows here
Rea
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rea, a small municipality of just 396 residents in Lombardy's Pavia province, is pivotal for Italy's protected foods. Its particular terroir and long-established methods underpin the production of 14 denominations. The celebrated Coppa di Parma IGP, for instance, thrives here, benefiting from specific conditions within its 439-municipality zone ideal for its precise curing. This same environment also shapes the unique character of Quartirolo Lombardo DOP, a fresh cheese, and the vibrant Grappa lombarda IG, a spirit emblematic of the region. Rea thus embodies how specific local factors forge globally recognized tastes.
