Verolavecchia

Verolavecchia, a municipality of just under 4,000 residents in the agricultural heartland of Lombardy's Brescia province, is a significant contributor to Italy's food heritage. Its fertile plains are especially suited for dairy production, a key factor in why this specific territory helps give rise to remarkable cheeses. Here, within a zone spanning 726 municipalities, the rich Provolone Valpadana DOP is crafted. Verolavecchia also participates in the broader production areas for Salva Cremasco DOP and Quartirolo Lombardo DOP. In total, this municipality contributes to an impressive 15 protected food and wine denominations, underscoring its unique agricultural vocation.
