Pizzo

Pizzo, a municipality on Calabria's Tyrrhenian coast within the Vibo Valentia province, is a cradle for distinctive Calabrian flavors. Its unique microclimate, influenced by both sea and hinterland, contributes to specialties like the famed Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP. This onion, protected across just 23 municipalities, thrives here, alongside Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP, a cheese from a slightly wider 27-municipality zone. The region's specific environmental conditions, shaped by this geography, extend to other protected goods, from Liquirizia di Calabria DOP to the renowned Capocollo di Calabria DOP and Salsiccia di Calabria DOP. Here, 5 verified producers uphold these traditions, with one even offering visits to experience their craft firsthand.
