What grows here
San Paolo
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Named after the early Christian martyr and apostle Paul of Tarsus, the Brescia municipality of San Paolo channels its deep-rooted heritage into exceptional dairy craftsmanship. Here, fertile Lombardy plains sustain a legacy of 15 protected denominations. Among these, the stringy, aged Provolone Valpadana DOP reigns supreme, cultivated within a select zone of 726 municipalities. The local pastures also yield the aromatic, crumbly Salva Cremasco DOP. In San Paolo, the ancient clay soils and humid climate create the ideal conditions for aging these historic cheeses, turning a devotion to land into intense, world-renowned flavors.
