San Gregorio d'Ippona
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
San Gregorio d'Ippona, situated at the northeastern foot of Monte Poro in Calabria, is a prime location for distinctive Calabrian specialities. This specific geography, defined by the slopes of Monte Poro, is fundamental to the area's most characteristic product: Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP. This celebrated sheep's milk cheese originates exclusively within a compact zone of just 27 municipalities. Beyond this unique cheese, San Gregorio d'Ippona also falls within the production areas for 11 other protected denominations, including Clementine di Calabria IGP and several Calabria DOP cured meats like Soppressata, Salsiccia, and Capocollo, alongside Calabria IGT wines, showcasing a vibrant food and wine landscape.
