Brussels has passed a regulation saying these products cannot be sold in the EU under these names unless they are made using traditional methods in their historic home regions.
For instance, the salami must be made from traditional Italian ‘large white’ and ‘Landrace’ pigs. It must have a “delicate, aromatic, distinctive and spicy smell (salt, ground black pepper, wine and crushed garlic are added) with a delicate and savoury taste.”
