Velezzo Lomellina
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Velezzo Lomellina, a small municipality of just 81 inhabitants, anchors itself in central Lomellina along the right bank of the Agogna river. Its unique character derives from a landscape where settlements, like Campalestro's historic closed-court agricultural estate or dispersed farmsteads such as Pieve and Malpaga, define the terrain. This environment, with its specific microclimate influenced by the river basin, fosters ideal conditions for specialized food production, particularly for cured meats and cheeses. As a result, this distinct area in Pavia province boasts a remarkable 14 protected denominations. Among these are the celebrated Coppa di Parma IGP and the highly local Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP, intrinsically linked to Lomellina's heritage and the traditions of its agricultural communities.
