Prosciutto di Norcia
Food · PGI · 5 municipalities
Recognized by the European Union since 1997, Prosciutto di Norcia IGP represents an exceptionally concentrated cured meat designation within Umbria. While neighboring dry-cured hams often span broad regional boundaries, this protected geographic indication is strictly confined to just five specific municipalities, including Cascia and Norcia. Today, a highly exclusive group of only ten verified producers adheres to these rigorous geographic boundaries under the oversight of the Consorzio di Tutela della IGP Prosciutto di Norcia. This micro-territorial limitation ensures that production remains small-scale, distinguishing it from larger, more expansive Italian ham denominations.
