Prosciutto di Modena

Food · PDO · 31 municipalities

Unlike its high-volume neighboring denominations in Emilia-Romagna, Prosciutto di Modena DOP is defined by an exceptionally limited scale, sustained today by only 7 verified producers. Officially recognized since 1996, this food denomination confines its entire production zone to 31 specific municipalities, which include Castelnuovo Rangone and Castelvetro di Modena. The Consorzio del prosciutto di Modena oversees this restricted output, maintaining a geographic exclusivity that distinguishes it from larger surrounding ham regions. This tight boundary means the entire DOP relies on a select, tiny cluster of local processors rather than industrial-scale regional facilities.
