The project "A Slice of Quality - Choose PDO and PGI Deli Meats from Europe" will bring high quality Italian charcuterie to Salón Gourmets. Chef Rubén Fenollar will be in charge of showing the versatility of products such as Mortadella Bologna PGI, Zampone and Cotechino Módena PGI and Salamini italiani alla Cacciatora PDO.
The Gastronomia Solidaria stage will host a cooking show where the public will be able to taste and get to know at first hand these cold meats produced in the regions of Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte, Lombardia, Veneto, Toscana, Le Marche, Lazio and the province of Trento, such as Mortadella Bologna IGP with its characteristic aroma and slightly spicy flavour.
Salamini italiani alla Cacciatora PDO, whose production area covers the central-northern part of Italy from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Veneto, Lombardia, Piemonte, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria, Toscana, Le Marche, Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, is one of the noblest cuts of pork.
The history of Zampone and Cotechino Modena PGI goes back more than 500 years and they are still prepared according to the ancient recipe: meat combined with rind and flavoured with pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and wine. The production area is concentrated in the north of Italy and covers the entire territory of the Emilia-Romagna region; the provinces of Cremona, Lodi, Pavia, Milano, Monza and Brianza, Varese, Como, Lecco, Bergamo, Brescia and Mantova in the Lombardy region; the provinces of Verana and Rovigo in the Veneto region.
