What grows here
Montagnareale
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Montagnareale, a municipality of Messina province in Sicily, serves as a crucial point for several protected origins. Its landscape contributes uniquely to two key local denominations: the Provola dei Nebrodi DOP cheese and Valdemone DOP olive oil. The robust Provola, a stretched-curd cheese, originates from the specific pastures spanning just 47 municipalities, intrinsically tied to the Nebrodi mountain range's microclimate and traditional practices found here. Similarly, the prized Valdemone extra virgin olive oil, from a zone of 108 municipalities, benefits from the distinctive volcanic soil and Mediterranean sun of this historical territory. Overall, Montagnareale offers a home to 10 protected denominations, each testament to its unique terroir.
