What grows here
Valdaora/Olang
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Valdaora/Olang, nestled within the alpine valleys of Trentino-South Tyrol, holds a pivotal role for 15 protected food and wine denominations. Its distinct elevation and specific microclimates, characteristic of the Bolzano province, are instrumental in shaping unique local specialties. Here, the hearty Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP, a crisp rye bread, finds its authentic character, benefiting from the region's traditional baking methods. Similarly, the pristine, dry air facilitates the meticulous aging of Speck Alto Adige IGP, a globally recognized cured ham. This municipality, integrated into the 116-municipality zone defining these local products, also yields spirits such as Südtiroler Williams IG, a pear brandy known for its intense fruitiness.
