What grows here
Borgo Valbelluna
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Borgo Valbelluna, centered around the historic alpine hamlet of Mel, offers a transition zone where mountain cliffs and valley pastures meet. This geography yields 15 protected denominations. Chief among these local specialties is Miele delle Dolomiti Bellunesi DOP, a wildflower honey limited to a zone of 60 mountain municipalities. The same pristine territory feeds the dairy herds behind Piave DOP, a cheese deeply influenced by the valley's distinctive climate. Here, the sharp Belluno altitude directly shapes the identity of both hive and pasture.
