This unique geography, alongside the history embodied by its 15th-century Pallavicino Casali castle, creates an ideal environment for renowned Piacenza charcuterie. Here, the traditional methods flourish, contributing to the esteemed Pancetta Piacentina DOP and Coppa Piacentina DOP. The microclimate, influenced by the river and fertile plains, also supports the production of Salame Piacentino DOP.
