Zampone Modena
Food · PGI · 1903 municipalities
While neighboring charcuterie denominations remain confined to single provinces, Zampone Modena IGP spans a unique, multi-regional production zone of 1,903 municipalities, with the majority situated in Lombardy. First alphabetically among these is the municipality of Abbadia Cerreto. Officially recognized since 1999, this expansive geographic designation is contrasted by extreme production selectivity: only 20 verified producers are authorized to manufacture the specialty. Managed by the Consorzio Zampone e Cotechino Modena IGP, this highly restricted pool of makers prevents the unauthorized replication common among non-certified regional pork products, ensuring that every authentic item strictly adheres to designated quality standards.
