'''Description'''

Quartirolo Lombardo is a [[PDO]] soft, whole or semi-skimmed [[Cows' milk|cows' milk]] table
[[Cheese|cheese]], ripened for a short time, parallelepiped in shape
with straight sides and base.

'''Geographical area'''

The entire territory of the provinces
of: Brescia, Bergamo, Como, Cremona, Milan, Pavia and
Varese, forming a continuous area.

'''Background'''

The etymology of the name reflects the
traditional use of a particular type of seasonal fodder
(autumnal) found in the flat areas of the region of
Lombardy. Although [[Dairy|dairy]] farming has evolved over the
years, the techniques used to process the [[Milk|milk]] have
remained the same, according to established local
practices.

'''Production method'''

The [[Curd|curd]], obtained from whole or semi-
skimmed [[Cows' milk|cows' milk]] undergoes two cuttings and is
transferred to special moulds where it is drained and
[[Salted|salted]] and then it is ripened in a place with the correct
temperature and humidity levels.

'''Geographical link'''

The natural factors are connected with the climatic
conditions which affect both the characteristics of the
fodder used to feed the [[Dairy|dairy]] [[Cows|cows]] and the
maturing processes of the [[Cheese|cheese]]. As for the human factors
involved, the product is traditionally consumed in the area
of production and is made according to a technique
unchanged with time, based on local practices.
