Valtellina Casera P.D.O.

The name derives precisely from the “casera,” the traditional place where the cheese is aged. Its spread is linked to the advent of the social and turnaria dairies in the province of Sondrio, which dates back to the 1500s and later spread to all villages. Customarily, Valtellina Casera, produced in winter, was a complementary product to Bitto, which was instead produced in mountain pastures during the summer months.
