Division 3.7 Specific rules concerning labelling

‘Salame Brianza’ may be marketed loose, vacuum-packed or packaged in a modified atmosphere, in whole salami or in portions or slices.

The name of the protected designation of origin ‘Salame Brianza’ must appear on the label in clear and indelible letters, fully distinguishable from any other wording, and must be followed immediately by the term ‘Denominazione di Origine Protetta’ [Protected Designation of Origin].

The above name and term must both be written in Italian.

The acronym ‘DOP’ [PDO] may also appear elsewhere on the label, in the same visual field. If a product is destined for international markets, the wording ‘Protected Designation of Origin’ may be given in the language of the destination country.

These details cannot be separated from the PDO logo.

Any other description not expressly allowed is prohibited.

However, the use of names, trade names and private brands is permitted, provided that they have no laudatory purport and are not such as to mislead the consumer; the names of the pig farms from which the product originates may also be used, provided that the raw material comes exclusively from these farms.

If the logo is directly printed on the producers’ label, the number of labels, checked by the authorised monitoring body, must match the amount of raw material destined for production of ‘Salame Brianza’.
