Corvara in Badia/Corvara

Corvara in Badia, situated among the Dolomite peaks of the Bolzano province, leverages its dry alpine microclimate to craft preserved mountain specialties. Here, the cold valley winds and historical baking techniques shape Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP, a hard, aromatic rye flatbread built to endure long winters. These high-altitude conditions also define the local distillation of Südtiroler Zwetschgeler IG, a spirit made from mountain plums. In total, 15 protected denominations overlap within this alpine municipality, where altitude-driven survival techniques historically dictated food preservation.
