Finocchiona PGI will soon land in the USA. US federal agencies have officially designated Tuscany as a “swine vesicular disease-free zone” and initiated the product’s acceptance process, slated for completion on October 23 with the publication of the decree in the Federal Register.

Alessandro Iacomoni, President of the Consortium for the Protection of Finocchiona PGI, remarks, “The American market holds substantial promise for our products. We project that 250 tons of Finocchiona PGI per annum, equivalent to 13% of our current production, will soon find their way to the US market.”
