What grows here
Bordolano
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the lowlands of Cremona, the tiny municipality of Bordolano—home to only 607 residents—serves as a fertile micro-hub for Lombardy’s dairy production. This small territory boasts 15 protected denominations, driven by its lush pastures and centuries-old cheesemaking craft. Here, the semi-hard Provolone Valpadana DOP develops its distinct sweet or spicy profile, alongside the historical, aromatic Salva Cremasco DOP, which has thrived on these plains for generations. The surrounding humid grasslands provide the ideal forage for the cattle, shaping the specific milk qualities that define these renowned northern Italian cheeses.
