The Production Specification is fundamental in the production of Finocchiona PGI. Only by respecting its requirements it is possible to obtain an excellent product, but also to protect the customer by using fresh, certified and controlled pork meat coming from Italian animals, whose origin is tracked right from their birth, together with specific ingredients (fennel seeds, garlic, salt, pepper and, optionally, red wine), whose quantities shall remain within a well-defined range. This allows manufactures to use their own imagination and crafts and to customise the recipes and final results according to local traditions often bound to ancient recipes passed on from the producers of Finocchiona in their family line.
