Vallée d’Aoste Jambon de Bosses PDO, the certified quality

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 19, 2012 - Saint Rhémy en Bosses, 2012-07-12 - Among its many properties, three main characteristics allowed this unique raw ham to obtain the Protected Designation of Origin: Territory, Raw Material, Production process. The Territory grants the mixture of herbs used during salting, the hay that accompanies the ham during its seasoning period, the breeze coming down from the four mountains surrounding the village where production takes place.

Raw material, meaning the selection of Heavy (Italian) Pigs, matches the standards defined by Italian PDO ham producers. Last and not least the process. It starts rubbing blood and serum away, it proceeds with salting the gammon with the admixture of aromatic autochthonous herbs and it ends with a long seasoning in rooms at the continuous presence of hay, always under the supervision of experts.

Recognised by the European Community (EC regulation No. 1263 of July 1996) and guaranteed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the PDO certifies the production’s compliance to the disciplinary measures and ensures to consumers the highest quality of Vallée d’Aoste Jambon de Bosses PDO.
Vallée d’Aoste Jambon de Bosses PDO, one of a kind!
