CONSORTIUM FOR THE PROTECTION OF PROVOLONE VALPADANA
We safeguard an all-Italian excellence
THE CONSORTIUM
The Consorzio Tutela Provolone Valpadana is a voluntary organization, established in 1975 under the name Consorzio for the protection of typical Italian Provolone, later changed into Consorzio del formaggio tipici Provolone (1986), then Consorzio Tutela Provolone (1993) and then, in 2002, Consorzio Tutela Provolone Valpadana.
In recent years we have therefore committed ourselves to the protection of this PDO cheese through a series of actions aimed at promotion on the one side and protection on the other.
