THE NAME OF THE EXCELLENCE: MADE IN ITALY

We invited Fabio Amadei and Chef Carlo Maria Ricci to explain the importance of discerning what is real Italian food between what is not, through indications such as the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG). Using local ingredients from the Emilia Romagna region, they demonstrate the standards by which these foods need to meet in order to be considered a PDO, PGI or TSG product, and also explain the historical value that each product carries.
