Prosciutto Amatriciano
Food · PGI · 22 municipalities
Recognized by the European Union since 2009, Prosciutto Amatriciano IGP occupies a highly unusual position within the protected cured meat landscape of the Lazio region. Its official production zone is legally restricted to 22 specific municipalities, including Amatrice, Accumoli, and Antrodoco. What distinguishes this denomination from neighboring Italian cured hams is its current production status: despite holding protected geographical status for over a decade, official registries document exactly zero verified producers actively manufacturing the ham. This leaves Prosciutto Amatriciano as an officially defined culinary designation that remains entirely dormant, awaiting future producers to revive its historical standards.
