An Authentic Treasure from Val Belluna
One of Val Belluna’s hidden treasures is undoubtedly the Cesiomaggiore potato. Forget everything you think you know about potatoes—this is a story rooted in passion, authenticity, and respect for the land.
This potato is not only delicious; it is the result of a deep commitment to sustainable farming. It is grown according to a strict production code that excludes all chemical treatments: no herbicides, insecticides, or synthetic substances. The result is a remarkably wholesome product with a genuine flavor that reflects the purity of the surrounding mountain environment.
What makes it even more special is the diversity within the Cesiomaggiore potato itself. Several varieties are grown, including ancient ones such as the “corneta,” best enjoyed with its skin on to appreciate its full character, and the “rafaiosa.” Each variety offers its own unique taste profile, creating a small world of flavors waiting to be discovered.
Its outstanding quality has been officially recognized. The Municipality of Cesiomaggiore has awarded it the Denominazione Comunale (De.C.O.), a certification that guarantees its origin and excellence. It is also listed as a Traditional Agri-food Product (P.A.T.), further confirming its strong and historic connection to the local territory.
Look for the Cesiomaggiore potato and taste the difference—authentic, local, and deeply rooted in tradition.
