Trasquera
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Trasquera, a small municipality in Val Divedro, sits at a crucial crossroad along the Simplon route, where the Italian-Swiss border marks a historical exchange point. This alpine setting, shaped by mountain geography and trans-border influences, is instrumental in crafting distinct local products. Foremost among these is Ossolano DOP, a cheese whose unique characteristics are tied to the specific grazing conditions found across its limited production zone of just 37 municipalities, including Trasquera. Its robust profile reflects the Alpine pastures. Beyond this specific cheese, the area contributes to the broader Genepì del Piemonte IG spirits, among a total of 15 protected denominations born in this distinctive corner of Piedmont.
