The producer
Poggio San Giorgio - Norcia (PG) - Umbria
Why we chose them
Poggio San Giorgio is one of the ten producers belonging to Prosciutto di Norcia IGP Consortium. It is a modern but artisan company situated on
Agriano plateau, in the area of Norcia: to reach them you have to take a small road in the middle of the countryside and go up to 980 meters of
altitude, among fields and nature. Since 1975 Perticoni family takes care the processing, maturing and marketing of hams. At the beginning the
company was in Assisi, then Daniele and Alessandro decided to move it to Norcia, in their new production plant on Agriano Plateau to combine their
family experience with Norcia traditions. Every week Poggio San Giorgio produces about 1000 legs, half of them dedicated to the production of
Prosciutto di Norcia IGP. At the beginning of June we visited the company and we got really impressed: in a small production they manage to set up
perfectly all the rooms needed for processing hams. A modern plant, provided with external probes that allow the exchange of air to explore the
favourable climatic conditions of the Agriano plateau
