Speck Alto Adige
Food · PGI · 116 municipalities
Speck Alto Adige IGP represents a highly specific cured meat standard native to the alpine territory of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. While generic regional hams are produced across fluid borders, this European PGI restricts its production exclusively to 116 designated municipalities in the province, which include Aldino/Aldein and Andriano/Andrian. Since receiving official European recognition in 1996, the protection rules have been overseen by the Consorzio Tutela Speck Alto Adige. Today, only 28 verified producers are authorized to manufacture this historical specialty, ensuring a concentrated level of expertise that separates it entirely from neighboring non-certified alpine charcuterie.
