Monticello Conte Otto

In the flatlands of the Vicenza province, Monticello Conte Otto thrives where damp lowland breezes create the ideal microclimate for curing meats. This specific environment shapes the production of Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a prized garlic-scented salami restricted to a zone of 113 municipalities. The town shares in 15 protected denominations, including the mountain-born Asiago DOP, reflecting a transition zone where alpine influences meet the fertile Venetian plain. Here, the humid local air naturally regulates the curing of local specialties, defining the gastronomic identity of this Vicentino commune.
