As part of the campaign, these premium deli meats will be showcased at HOFEX 2025, Asia's premier food and hospitality trade show, from 14-16 May 2025 at booth 3D-D20.

Food enthusiasts and trade professionals alike will have the chance to experience first-hand the quality and authenticity of these products, which have earned recognition through the European Union's prestigious PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certifications.

Adding European Deli Meats to Your Spring Feast

In celebration of spring, these premium and versatile deli meats can easily be incorporated into a range of festive dishes that are guaranteed to impress your guests. Here are four delightful recipe ideas to bring the authentic flavours of Europe to your spring table:

  • Salad with Mortadella Bologna PGI: This recipe combines soft, aromatic slices of Mortadella Bologna with a medley of crisp greens, offering the perfect balance of savoury and freshness.
  • Lentil and Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora PDO Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette: A healthy and hearty dish, this salad pairs Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora PDO's sweet and delicate flavour with earthy lentils and a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.
  • Stuffed Zucchini with Cotechino Modena PGI: This recipe involves stuffing tender zucchini with Cotechino Modena PGI, creating a deliciously comforting dish that's perfect for the springtime.
  • Zampone Modena PGI Dandan Udon: Zampone Modena PGI meeting springy udon noodles coated in a bold Sichuan-inspired sauce, will definitely add a fiery fusion vibe to your dinner.

The Legacy of European Deli Meats

Mortadella Bologna PGI, Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora PDO, Zampone Modena PGI and Cotechino Modena PGI are made from the highest quality ingredients and centuries-old traditions, representing the finest in European craftsmanship.

Mortadella Bologna PGI is created from finely ground pork, a blend of spices, and is often studded with pistachios. A beloved European deli meat with a longstanding history, its smooth texture and slightly sweet flavour is perfect for adding to dishes or enjoyed on its own as part of a traditional antipasto platter.

Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora PDO are small, ruby-red, cured sausages crafted using high quality pork and seasoned with garlic, pepper, and salt. Traditionally carried by hunters, this deli meat's sweet and delicate flavour is perfect for pairing with cheeses and fruits or adding to salads and pureed dishes.

Cotechino Modena PGI and Zampone Modena PGI are made from pork encased in pig skin and in pig trotter's skin respectively. Seasoned with traditional spices, they deliver punchy yet refined flavour. Whilst traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, particularly New Year's Eve, these delicacies have become everyday favourites over the years.
