High in the Montefeltro region of Pesaro e Urbino, the municipality of Carpegna is the exclusive birthplace of a singular delicacy: Prosciutto di Carpegna DOP. This prized cured ham owes its distinct character to a production zone covering precisely 1 municipality, where a unique microclimate and centuries-old traditions converge. These specific conditions, nurtured only here, imbue the ham with its exceptional flavour and texture. Carpegna also contributes to the acclaimed Casciotta d'Urbino DOP, a revered regional cheese. In total, this compact territory plays a vital role in eleven protected food and wine denominations, underscoring its significant contribution to Italy's gastronomic tapestry.
