What grows here
Casaletto di Sopra
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the flatlands of Cremona, the small agrarian outpost of Casaletto di Sopra, home to a mere 526 residents, turns its quiet pastures into a powerhouse of Lombard cheesemaking. This tiny community is integrated into 15 protected denominations. Foremost among these is Provolone Valpadana DOP, produced within a defined zone of 726 municipalities, and the deeply local Salva Cremasco DOP, whose production spans 838 municipalities. These specific geographical designations guarantee that the historic dairy techniques of the Cremonese plains are preserved within this small-scale agricultural landscape.
