Valtellina Casera
Food · PDO · 77 municipalities
Registered as a PDO in 1996, Valtellina Casera is a Lombardy food product defined by its restricted production zone. While it shares its protection consortium, the Consorzio per la tutela dei formaggi Valtellina Casera e Bitto, with its sibling Bitto, Valtellina Casera is distinguished by its own specific territory of 77 municipalities, which includes Albaredo per San Marco and Albosaggia. Exactly 60 verified producers currently make this cheese. This cohort of 60 producers ensures the cheese remains distinct from other Lombardy denominations, adhering strictly to the established boundaries of these 77 municipalities.
