Piacenza identity in every slice
Salame Piacentino PDO

Learn moreTerritory
The province of Piacenza, between the Po river and the Apennines
There is a territory where cured meats of outstanding quality have always been produced: the province of Piacenza.
Several factors contribute to this result. The territory lies along the banks of the Po river on one side and is surrounded by the Apennines on the other.
These imposing natural elements create a unique microclimate that contributes in an exclusive way to the ageing of cured meats.
History
From the origins of Piacenza pork butchery to the three PDO products
The culture of Piacenza cured meats crosses centuries of practices, artistic evidence, trade and local know-how.
