Inside the production zone

Towns of ours that the Prosciutto di Norcia IGP zone covers, read from the denomination’s own published rules. Lying inside a zone is a smaller claim than being the place people mean when they say the name, which is why these sit apart from the ones above.

• 

  Cascia

  Province: Perugia · 653 m

  Santa Rita's town at 653 meters in the upper Valnerina, in the seismic corner of Umbria that the 2016 earthquake reopened.

• 

  Preci

  Province: Perugia · 596 m

  A walled Valnerina village at 596 meters that ran Europe's leading school of surgery for three centuries until the 2016 quake brought the borgo down.

Catalogue note: this is what we can document, not everything that qualifies. Where a zone is written in law as a whole province rather than a list of communes, we never expand it to towns, so a town missing here has not been ruled out. Plenty of comuni inside the wider zone also sit outside our catalogue of 1,000. See how the data is sourced.
