Salame Piacentino

Food · PDO · 330 municipalities

While the Emilia-Romagna region is globally recognized for cured meats, Salame Piacentino DOP maintains a highly restricted identity, defined by a select group of only 12 verified producers. This narrow circle of makers is authorized to craft the protected salame across a specific zone of 330 municipalities, which alphabetically begins with Agazzano. Officially recognized under EU law since 1996 and protected by the Consorzio Salumi DOP Piacentini, this designation relies on a concentrated manufacturing base, ensuring that every authentic product is traced directly back to this limited pool of experts rather than the broader industrial output of neighbouring territories.
