Casalmaggiore

Home to over fifteen thousand residents in Lombardy's Cremona province, the municipality of Casalmaggiore owes its agricultural identity to the fertile alluvial soils of the Po basin. This lowland environment nurtures the Melone Mantovano IGP, a prized, sweet melon cultivated across a restricted zone of just 41 municipalities. The local climate also perfectly suits the curing of Coppa di Parma IGP and the aging of Provolone Valpadana DOP. In total, Casalmaggiore's territory claims 17 protected denominations, making this Cremonese hub an essential crossroads of certified northern Italian food heritage.
