Barlassina

Situated in Lombardy's Brianza area, Barlassina, home to nearly 7,000 residents, anchors a tradition of distinctive foods. This municipality, part of the province of Monza and della Brianza, benefits from an agricultural landscape ripe for specialized production. Among the 14 protected denominations overlapping here, the Salame Brianza DOP stands out as truly local, originating from a zone spanning just 286 municipalities.
