What grows here
Capergnanica
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Capergnanica, a compact Lombard community of just over two thousand residents in the fertile lowlands of Cremona, leverages its damp, grassy pastures to shape exceptional dairy traditions. Within this specific territory, 15 protected denominations overlap, celebrated for preserving ancient agricultural methods. Here, the stringy heritage of Provolone Valpadana DOP, which spans a zone of 726 municipalities, thrives alongside the historic Salva Cremasco DOP. The local microclimate and clay-rich soil provide the perfect forage for dairy cows, ensuring that these distinctive, aged cheeses retain the exact herbal complexity that has defined this pocket of the Po Valley for centuries.
