What grows here
Parlasco
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the rugged heights of Lecco, the tiny Lombardy commune of Parlasco, home to just 136 residents, benefits from alpine air drafts that are highly conducive to curing meats and aging cheeses. Despite its minuscule size, Parlasco overlaps with 15 protected denominations. Key among them is Salame Brianza DOP, a cured pork specialty produced across a zone of 286 municipalities. This mountain climate also favors the aging of Salva Cremasco DOP, a historic cheese crafted within a restricted territory of 838 northern municipalities, cementing this secluded mountain enclave's place on Italy's culinary map.
