The Consortia for the protection of authentic Italian cured meats, representing the renowned Finocchiona PGI from Tuscany and Prosciutto di Norcia PGI from Umbria, announced the favorable outcome of the evaluation carried out by United States authorities.
The assessment pertained to the recognition of Tuscany and Umbria as regions devoid of the threat of Swine Vesicular Disease. Following a mandatory waiting period of 60 days from the publication in the Federal Register, this development will grant Tuscan cured meats establishments and the entirety of Umbrian charcuterie the authorization to export their products with an aging period of fewer than 400 days.
