Villanova del Sillaro
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Villanova del Sillaro, a municipality of 1,883 inhabitants in Lombardy's Lodi province, stands as a notable origin point for Italian protected foods. Its distinct environment supports specific production for 14 denominations. Among these, the area is central to Salva Cremasco DOP, a cheese whose protected zone uniquely covers just 838 municipalities. This highly localized production, alongside Quartirolo Lombardo DOP and Taleggio DOP, defines the region's dairy traditions. The specific geological and climatic conditions inherent to this part of Lombardy create the ideal conditions for these revered products, deeply rooting them in this unique territory.
