What grows here
Zocca
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched 758 meters above sea level in the mountain ridges south of Modena, Zocca nurtures a distinct high-altitude microclimate within the Terre di Castelli. This elevated terrain shapes the character of 18 protected denominations, led by the sweet, dark Ciliegia di Vignola IGP and the air-cured Prosciutto di Modena DOP. The crisp mountain breezes here are essential for curing these hams to perfection. Food travelers can directly experience this heritage through the 2 verified local producers operating right inside the municipality, both of whom warmly open their doors for visits.
