Cerenzia
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cerenzia, a small Calabrian municipality of just 975 inhabitants within the Crotone province, acts as a crucial cradle for distinctive Italian produce. Its unique terroir helps shape Alto Crotonese DOP, an olive oil shared with only 5 other municipalities, demonstrating an intensely localized character. The same land nurtures the grapes for Val di Neto IGT wines, part of a zone spanning 21 municipalities, alongside the pastures for sheep that yield Pecorino Crotonese DOP cheese, recognized across 52 municipalities. This concentrated geography supports a remarkable 14 protected denominations, making Cerenzia a significant point on ItalyTasteMap for its specific contributions, far beyond its modest size.
