Casalbuttano ed Uniti

For Casalbuttano ed Uniti, a Cremonese settlement of under four thousand residents, agricultural identity is rooted in its low-lying Lombard plain. This terroir yields 15 protected denominations, with Provolone Valpadana DOP leading the dairy heritage within its zone of 726 municipalities. The area's abundant forage also feeds the production of Salva Cremasco DOP, another highly local specialty. These distinct cheeses thrive here because the historical network of irrigation canals crossing this territory sustains the intensive dairy farming essential for producing the raw milk required by these specific cheese-making traditions.
