What grows here
Abetone Cutigliano
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Abetone Cutigliano, a scattered municipality in Tuscany's Pistoia province, stands apart with its rugged mountainous terrain, a stark contrast to the region's famed rolling hills. This distinctive environment shapes the character of products born here, contributing to the robust flavour profiles of its protected denominations. Among the 13 total regional specialties, the area helps define Pane Toscano DOP, a bread traditionally made without salt, and the classic Cantuccini Toscani IGP. The unique microclimates and specific agricultural practices, influenced by the higher altitude and forest proximity, also nurture the renowned Finocchiona IGP, a fennel-infused salami, and the creamy Pecorino Toscano DOP. This specific geographical setting is indispensable to the authenticity and distinctiveness of these esteemed Tuscan foods.
