Cogollo del Cengio
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the northern reaches of the Vicenza province, the small community of Cogollo del Cengio, home to just over 3,100 residents, nurtures some of Veneto's most distinctive culinary treasures. The transitioning Alpine foothill microclimate of this specific terrain shapes the delicate character of Vicenza DOC wines and the renowned Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a traditional garlic-infused salami whose production is restricted to a zone of 113 municipalities. This unique geographic intersection allows Cogollo del Cengio to claim a total of 16 distinct protected denominations, ranging from foothill cheeses to local olive oils.
