Erbazzone Reggiano

Erbazzone Reggiano achieved European Protected Geographical Indication status in 2024, establishing a specialized food denomination within Emilia-Romagna. What distinguishes this origin from broader regional designations is its strict containment within a zone of exactly 42 municipalities, a list that begins alphabetically with Albinea and Bagnolo in Piano. Despite its formal recognition, the commercial registry currently lists zero verified producers who have completed the official certification process. This empty registry defines its current status, marking a transition period where local makers in these specific 42 municipalities have yet to formally register under the newly protected geographical name.
