What grows here
Longi
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Longi, a small community in Sicily's metropolitan city of Messina, is a distinctive nexus for specific flavors. Situated on the rugged slopes that descend towards the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Nebrodi mountain range, its microclimate is ideal for the renowned Provola dei Nebrodi DOP, a stretched-curd cheese made across 47 municipalities. This northern Sicilian terrain also cultivates the olive groves that yield Valdemone DOP olive oil. Longi contributes to 10 protected denominations, with these two highly localized products embodying the deep, undeniable link between the specific Messinese landscape and its inimitable food heritage.
