Maccastorna
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the tiny Lodi enclave of Maccastorna, home to just 67 residents, a quiet agrarian landscape belies a dense gastronomic heritage. This Lombardy municipality intersects 15 protected denominations, anchoring itself in the highly localized production zones of northern Italy. Chief among these is the savory Coppa di Parma IGP, limited to a select territory of 439 municipalities. The local pastures also qualify Maccastorna for the production of Salva Cremasco DOP, a table cheese tightly bound to regional dairy traditions. Despite its minuscule population, this river-basin village remains vital to Lombardy's culinary map.
