What grows here
Salussola
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Where the Biellese hills slope toward Piedmont's flatlands, Salussola, a small community of 1,844 residents, nurtures distinctive agricultural treasures. The local clay-heavy soils and alpine runoff create ideal conditions for Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, a characterful rice grown across a limited 28-municipality zone. Vineyards here also yield the regional Canavese DOC wine. Among 16 overlapping protected denominations, just a single registered local producer operates within the municipal boundaries, welcoming curious epicureans to experience and taste these heritage flavors directly at the source.
