Caciottone di Norcia
Food · PGI · 5 municipalities
Recognized by the European Union since 2021, Caciottone di Norcia IGP represents a highly localized cheese denomination restricted to just five municipalities in Umbria, including Cascia and Norcia. Unlike neighboring designations with active dairy networks, this protected food origin occupies a peculiar position in the agricultural registry, currently recording zero verified producers. This total lack of active, certified operations sets it apart from more prolific Italian cheeses, making the denomination a dormant legal reality. Its geographical boundaries remain strictly defined around this small mountainous enclave, waiting for local dairies to claim the certified heritage established by its official registration.
