What grows here
Rudiano
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the low-lying plains of western Brescia, Rudiano’s landscape of well-watered pastures supports a population of 5,911 residents. This fertile territory is the birthplace of 15 overlapping protected food and drink origins, heavily dominated by cheese. Chief among these is Provolone Valpadana DOP, a cheese tied to a specific zone of 726 municipalities. The local grasses also yield the milk for Salva Cremasco DOP, another highly localized dairy specialty. These cheese-making customs thrive here because the surrounding fields provide a constant supply of fresh forage, driving a specialized agricultural culture.
