What grows here
Caorso
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Caorso, a vibrant municipality in Emilia-Romagna's lower Piacenza plain, thrives where the alluvial soils create ideal conditions for agricultural excellence. This fertile territory, historically linked to both Piacenza and Cremona, is a birthplace for exceptional cured meats. Here, the specific microclimate and long-standing traditions nurture products like Pancetta Piacentina DOP and Coppa Piacentina DOP, both born within a limited area of just 46 municipalities. Salame Piacentino DOP also finds its roots here, alongside the versatile dell'Emilia IGT wines. In total, Caorso proudly hosts 13 protected denominations, a testament to its distinct terroir.
