What grows here
Cagnano Varano
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched above Lake Varano, within the dramatic Gargano National Park, Cagnano Varano offers a distinct terroir where ancient traditions meet a unique environment. This commanding position, possibly the site of the ancient Uria, influences the agricultural produce that thrives here. The interplay of lake breezes, coastal air, and the limestone geology of the Gargano creates a specific microclimate. This unique setting is crucial for the origin of at least 12 protected denominations, including the robust Canestrato Pugliese DOP cheese, known for its firm texture and intense flavour, a true testament to the local sheep farming heritage shaped by this particular land.
