What grows here
Pojana Maggiore
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the quiet, low-lying plains of southern Vicenza, a community of just over 4,200 residents fosters some of Italy's most exclusive culinary treasures. Pojana Maggiore's damp, gentle microclimate provides the perfect natural curing conditions for Prosciutto Veneto Berico-Euganeo DOP, a sweet, delicate ham crafted in a highly restricted zone of just 15 municipalities. This fertile agricultural outpost boasts 18 protected denominations in total, also serving as a vital cultivation ground for Radicchio di Verona IGP. Here, the unique flatland terroir naturally concentrates flavors, yielding legendary cured meats and vibrant, bitter winter chicory.
