What grows here
Cascia
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cascia, located in Umbria's rugged Valnerina mountain range, stands as a prime origin for distinct Italian foods. This elevated and ancient landscape, shaped by centuries of agricultural tradition and unique microclimates, profoundly influences the character of products cultivated and crafted here. Among the 10 protected denominations tied to this area, two very local culinary jewels emerge: the renowned Prosciutto di Norcia IGP and the robust Caciottone di Norcia IGP, both specifically linked to just 5 municipalities. The distinctive local terroir also nurtures the cultivation of Farro di Monteleone di Spoleto DOP. Notably, a single verified producer within Cascia diligently upholds these specific culinary legacies.
