Italian regional culinary traditions and protections

Overview

Developments in Italian gastronomy highlight efforts to preserve and document regional culinary traditions. In Emilia-Romagna, the Mortadella Bologna IGP celebrated its 365th anniversary, marking the historical 1661 decree that established its first production regulations. This anniversary also coincided with the 25th anniversary of the Consorzio Italiano Tutela Mortadella Bologna, an organization representing 27 companies that manages the product's identity across 74 countries.

Furthering the documentation of traditional recipes, the Dotta Confraternita del Tortellino formally deposited the official recipe for tortellini broth at the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. This follows the 1974 registration of the tortellini filling recipe. Additionally, in the Veneto region, Salumificio MICAD introduced a new Porchetta Trevigiana produced through artisanal methods such as hand-tying and slow oven-roasting.
