The High Val Bormida territory, in addition to being renowned for its vast wooded areas and ancient trees, is also rich in watercourses with thirteen springs, two of which are used for bottling activities.

In these areas, timber is worked and agriculture is practiced, including the excellent harvesting of chestnuts and mushrooms.

The latter is a typical product of Calizzano, which boasts an ancient culinary tradition in this regard.

Local shops sell a wide variety of high-quality dried and preserved mushrooms, and the restaurants in the area offer delightful combinations with exquisite traditional dishes.
