Matilda of Canossa: a journey through history and flavors

A Link Between Past and Present

Tradition intertwines with creativity while respecting the values that have preserved the knowledge and skills of the generations that preceded us.

This heritage of knowledge and skill is not just an archive of territorial memory but is a vital force, a talent that animates the work of the artisans of the Matildic Lands. Here, every product is the pure manifestation of a heritage rich in uniqueness and originality.

 

Matilda of Canossa: The Strong-Hearted Countess

The greatness of Matilda of Canossa transcends history and enters the realm of legend.

In a time of conflict between the Papacy and the Empire, Matilda emerges as a mediating force, but also as a capable and determined leader.

Despite challenges, revolts, and betrayals, her determination leads her to regain power over her domains and to be elected Imperial Vicaria Queen in 1111.
This legacy of strength and wisdom is reflected in the lands that once were under her dominion and in the products that now carry the DO.M. mark. 

 

The DO.M. Values

Respect for Tradition: Tradition is seen not only as a heritage of the past but as a vital force that energizes the present of DO.M., recognizing and celebrating the value of knowledge and skills from previous generations, considering them as pure manifestations of uniqueness and originality.

Guarantee of Excellence: Every product under the DO.M. umbrella is the result of artisanal skill, quality, and sustainability, reflecting the genuineness of the Matildic Lands.

Sustainability and Biodiversity: Beyond quality, DO.M. places great emphasis on the sustainability of production processes and the protection of the identity of the territories and their biodiversity.

Connecting Artisans and the World: The brand acts as a bridge between local artisans of the Matildic Lands and the global public.


The Beating Heart of Italian Medieval Times: Matildic Lands

The Domains of Matilda of Canossa encompass a wide variety of territories, extending from Lake Garda along the Po Valley to the hills of Viterbo in Lazio, ascending the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines between Parma and Modena, expanding throughout Tuscany and including western Umbria.

It is difficult to imagine a environment richer in climate differences, geographical configuration, soil composition, and dietary habits than that which the duchess had subjected.

These artisans, guardians of their excellence, may not compete with large industries, but the quality of their products speaks for itself. The mission of the DO.M. brand is to share these gems of flavors and millenary knowledge with the world.
