Foza

Foza, a quiet mountain enclave in Vicenza province home to just 673 residents, channels its alpine geography into specialized food production. Here, 15 protected denominations overlap, shaped by the high-altitude climate. The rugged pastures provide the ideal conditions for maturing Asiago DOP cheese, while the pristine, crisp air naturally cures Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a signature aged garlic salumi regulated across a select zone of 113 municipalities. This cold highland setting acts as a natural cellar, concentrating the flavors of these mountain-crafted delicacies and defining Foza’s unique culinary fingerprint.
