Carli Angelo

In Celico, a municipality in the Cosenza area on the Sila plateau, Carli Angelo cultivates Patata della Sila IGP, leveraging the altitude and climate conditions that benefit this protected variety. The high altitude is not just a picturesque backdrop but a key production factor: the cold of the plateau favors cultivation and shapes the characteristics of the tuber, in a mountain environment that few other areas in the South can replicate. The decisive feature is the high concentration of dry matter, a quality that makes this potato particularly suitable for frying and, above all, for prolonged winter storage without the use of synthetic additives. The producer operates within the zone of twenty-four municipalities defined by the regulations, a perimeter that combines the character linked to the terroir with a guarantee of origin. In a territory where the potato is not a side dish but a resource of identity, Carli Angelo maintains the direct link between the severe conditions of the Sila plateau and a product that stores well for a long time, preserving one of the few Calabrian protected origins rooted in the mountains.
