The EU Regulation C 1985/2024, dated March 6, 2024, has submitted Caciottone di Norcia for the IGP registration. Crafted from a blend of pasteurized cow's and sheep's milk, this cheese offers a glimpse into the rich gastronomic heritage of the Norcia region.
IGP, or Indicazione Geografica Protetta, translates to Protected Geographical Indication in English. It's a designation granted by the European Union to products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation, or characteristics that are linked to that location. IGP status aims to protect the traditional production methods and promote the uniqueness of regional products.
The proposed IGP Caciottone di Norcia showcases a smooth texture and delicate flavor profile, echoing the traditions of its namesake area. Pending approval, this cheese could become a noteworthy addition to Italy's array of protected geographical indications.
