The Protected Area's economy is mainly based on the agricultural activity and on the related processing industry. Situated between Parma's upper western plain and the first hills in the eastern part of the province of Piacenza, the Park's territory includes one of the best wine-and-food unions with the cheeses Parmigiano-Reggiano and Grana Padano combining with DOC wines and DOP cold cuts, products that are renown all over Europe.
Such a union is possible thanks to geographical and production factors making the Stirone stream be the physical element marking the boundary between the products coming from the Province of Parma and those coming from the Province of Piacenza.
