Mortadella Bologna
Food · PGI · 4614 municipalities
While its name evokes a single historic city, Mortadella Bologna IGP is unique for an expansive geographic footprint that covers 4,614 individual municipalities, stretching alphabetically from Abano Terme to Abetone Cutigliano, with the majority of actual production concentrated in the Lombardy region. This massive, multi-regional territory is strictly managed by just 34 verified producers. Recognized since 1998, these select makers operate under the direct oversight of the Consorzio Italiano Tutela Mortadella Bologna, maintaining specific charcuterie standards across their vast zone. This wide yet highly restricted production setup distinguishes Mortadella Bologna from typical localized, single-province Italian cured meats.
