Petronà

Within Calabria's Catanzaro province, Petronà stands as a significant origin for Italy's protected foods. Its territory lies within the circumscribed zone for Pecorino Crotonese DOP, an artisanal sheep's milk cheese, a tradition thriving across just 52 municipalities. This particular setting, with its varied terrain conducive to pastoralism, is precisely why such a distinctive product is born here. In total, Petronà contributes to 12 protected denominations, a rich output that also includes Clementine di Calabria IGP and Calabria IGT, showcasing the municipality's deep connection to the region's diverse food and wine landscape.
