Prosciutto di Carpegna
Food · PDO · 1 municipality
Prosciutto di Carpegna DOP, recognized by the European Union since 1996, represents one of Italy’s most geographically restricted cured meat designations. Unlike neighboring ham appellations that span wide regional territories, this PDO limits its entire production zone to just 1 municipality: Carpegna, located in the Marche region. This extreme geographical specialization is reflected in its contemporary scale; while protected by the Consorzio Prosciutto di Carpegna, the official registry currently contains 0 verified producers. This vacant database distinguishes the denomination from all other Italian hams, remaining a unique, dormant micro-origin on the global gastronomic map.
