Ricotta Romana

Food · PDO · 378 municipalities

Ricotta Romana DOP stands out among Italian dairy denominations due to a striking contrast between its sprawling geographical footprint and its highly restricted circle of makers. While the designated production zone covers 378 municipalities across the Lazio region, including territories like Accumoli and Agosta, only 6 verified producers are certified to manufacture this protected food. Safeguarded by the Consorzio di tutela Ricotta Romana DOP, the product has maintained this tight concentration of certified dairies since its official European recognition in 2003, ensuring that the authentic sheep's whey cheese remains a highly controlled, niche specialty despite its vast potential territory.
