What grows here
Cropalati
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched at 384 meters above sea level on the lower foothills of the Sila Greca, Cropalati is cradled between the Trionto river and Coserie torrent valleys. This specific topography in Calabria shapes a microclimate ideal for distinct local produce. It is here that Pecorino Crotonese DOP, a cheese tied to 52 municipalities, develops its unique character. The village also contributes to Terre di Cosenza DOC wines, a designation spanning 150 communes, and is central to the broader origin zones of 11 other protected products. From Liquirizia di Calabria DOP to Clementine di Calabria IGP, a total of 13 denominations find their specific conditions within this singular landscape, reflecting the fertile interaction of soil and tradition.
