What grows here
Filandari
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Filandari, a community within Calabria's Vibo Valentia province, serves as a crucial point on ItalyTasteMap for its distinct culinary offerings. This area is celebrated as a prime location for the production of Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP, a cheese whose very name reflects its origins in the Monte Poro massif, extending across 27 municipalities. The unique local pastures and age-old cheesemaking traditions here contribute to its characteristic flavour. Beyond this signature cheese, Filandari is linked to a total of 12 protected denominations, including the fragrant Clementine di Calabria IGP and the robust Soppressata di Calabria DOP, testament to the rich agricultural heritage nurtured by the particular Calabrian climate and terrain.
