Sant'Olcese

Few communities in Liguria have a history as closely tied to pork curing as Sant'Olcese. Set in the wooded upper Val Polcevera behind Genoa, the municipality spreads across slopes and small settlements shaped by the Sardorella stream, a tributary of the Polcevera. Its best-known local product is Salame di Sant'Olcese, a traditional garlic-seasoned pork salami that remains central to the area's food identity. The narrow-gauge Genoa–Casella Railway also serves Sant'Olcese, linking these inland hills with Genoa's urban edge.
