Armento

Armento, a municipality within Basilicata's Potenza province, is a pivotal origin for several Italian protected specialties. Its unique environment, shaped by the rugged Lucanian landscape, nurtures the distinct produce born here. Here, the "Canestrato di Moliterno IGP" cheese matures, reflecting traditional shepherding across its 60-municipality zone. The rich soils also yield the distinctive "Fagiolo di Sarconi IGP," while the mild climate proves ideal for "Olio lucano IGP." Furthermore, the territory contributes to the esteemed "Pecorino di Filiano DOP" and the regional "Basilicata IGT" wines. In total, Armento is integral to seven protected denominations.
