Cotechino Modena

Food · PGI · 1903 municipalities

Established under European protection in 1999, Cotechino Modena IGP occupies a surprisingly expansive production zone that defies simple geographical boundaries. While its name points to Modena, the majority of this specialty's designated territory actually lies within Lombardy, stretching across a vast network of 1,903 authorized municipalities starting alphabetically with Abbadia Cerreto. This unusually wide geographic footprint is managed by only 20 verified producers under the Consorzio Zampone e Cotechino Modena IGP. This stark contrast between a vast, multi-regional footprint and a highly exclusive group of authorized makers distinguishes Cotechino Modena from highly localized Italian charcuterie designations.
