Prosciutto di San Daniele
Food · PDO · 1 municipality
Unlike neighboring prosciutto denominations that span entire provinces, the production zone of Prosciutto di San Daniele is restricted to just a single municipality: San Daniele del Friuli. Located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, this highly concentrated micro-region comprises only 28 verified producers. Officially recognized by the European Union since 1996, the strict geographical boundaries of this DOP ensure that every cured ham is seasoned exclusively within this specific municipal territory. Under the oversight of the Consorzio del Prosciutto di San Daniele, the limited scale of production maintains a precise, hyper-local standard that distinguishes it from larger regional designations.
