Squacquerone di Romagna

Food · PDO · 151 municipalities

Squacquerone di Romagna DOP occupies a peculiar niche in Italy's geographical indications. Recognized by the European Union since 2009, this cheese features a delimited production zone spanning exactly 151 municipalities within Emilia-Romagna, stretching alphabetically from Alfonsine to Bagnacavallo. What sets this denomination apart from neighboring dairy origins is its current administrative paradox: despite its legal protection, the official registry lists zero verified producers. While dairies continue to craft the cheese, none currently operate under the official DOP certification, leaving this vast protected territory of 151 municipalities without a single verified entity utilizing the European status.
