CONSORZIO TUTELA 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 tipico 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 P.D.O. cheese through a series of actions aimed at promotion on the one side and protection on the other.
In questi anni ci siamo quindi impegnati per la tutela di questo formaggio D.O.P. attraverso una serie di azioni mirate alla promozione da un lato e alla tutela dall’altro.
Why are we doing this?
With all these activities we are able to follow all stages of production such as spinning and maturing, and to supervise safety and quality. During its history, the Consortium has made the protection of this P.D.O. cheese its mission.
A careful control over the entire production chain and the participation of all producers is the best way to guarantee the quality and taste of this excellence, an important part of the Italian enogastronomic heritage.
