What grows here
Capranica Prenestina
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched high in the Prenestini mountains, Capranica Prenestina offers a distinct environment within Lazio. This unique elevation, evidenced by the nearby Guadagnolo, Lazio's highest non-municipal settlement, shapes a microclimate conducive to specific agricultural traditions. It is here that a remarkable 10 protected denominations find their origins. Among them, products like Olio di Roma IGP benefit from local olive groves, while the mountain pastures yield the milk for Ricotta Romana DOP. This rugged terrain also supports the sheep and lambs fundamental to Abbacchio Romano IGP, reflecting a deep connection between the high-altitude landscape and its distinctive culinary outputs.
