The event will take place during the Summer Truffle Party. It starts at 6:30 p.m. in the New Multipurpose Centre with the conference “Salumi PDO, 30 years and not feeling it”, dedicated to the anniversary of the three Piacenza PDO cured meats: Coppa Piacentina PDO, Pancetta Piacentina PDO and Salame Piacentino PDO.
The President of the Piacenza Cured Meats Consortium, Roberto Belli, and the President of the Protection Consortium, Antonio Grossetti, will speak about the products and their promotion. Francesco Matteo Curatolo, academic, researcher at the Catholic University and nutritionist, will also contribute with an insight into the characteristics and nutritional values of the cured meat.
The special guest will be Daniele Reponi, the “non-chef of sandwiches”, from Modena, known for his long participation in La Prova del Cuoco on RAI and for his research into gourmet sandwiches.
From 7:30 p.m. the event will move to the square in Pecorara for a gastronomic challenge: Daniele Reponi, Emilio Repetti and Riccardo Negruzzi will compete in preparing a sandwich with one of the PDO cured meats and Nero di Pecorara, the local truffle and its products.
The evening aims to open a new path in the promotion of excellent local products, with a special focus on younger consumers and traditional sandwiches reinterpreted in gourmet form.
