Casciotta d'Urbino

Food · PDO · 57 municipalities

Casciotta d’Urbino, protected under European PDO status since 1996, represents an incredibly concentrated dairy heritage in the Marche region. Unlike neighboring dairy denominations with expansive territories, this cheese is restricted to a production zone of fifty-seven specific municipalities, including Acqualagna and Belforte all'Isauro. What truly distinguishes this denomination from other Italian cheeses is its extreme scarcity: the Consorzio Tutela Casciotta d'Urbino monitors a market sustained by only two verified producers. This exceptionally narrow base of active operations makes Casciotta d’Urbino one of the most geographically bounded and exclusive certified food origins in Italy.
