Cittareale
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cittareale, a municipality in Lazio, embodies a heritage shaped by its historical position: for over six centuries until 1861, it was an integral part of Abruzzo's domains, notably the Giustizierato d'Abruzzo. This enduring cross-regional influence fostered specific agricultural practices, now celebrated through its Protected Origins. Among the 10 total denominations connected to this territory, the most emblematic is Prosciutto Amatriciano IGP, a delicacy whose production zone spans just 22 municipalities. The specific mountain air and centuries of artisanal wisdom also lend distinct qualities to Ricotta Romana DOP and Abbacchio Romano IGP, linking Cittareale's unique environment to these renowned foods.
