La parola qualità ha assunto nel corso dei secoli molteplici declinazioni, arricchendo di volta in volta il proprio significato in funzione di fattori collegati alla società ed alle attività antropiche (usanze, consuetudini, luoghi, cultura, religione, politica, innovazione, evoluzione tecnologica, solo per citarne alcuni) .
Nell’Unione Europea att...

La normativa sull’etichettatura dei prodotti alimentari nasce nel 1978 con la Direttiva 79/112/CEE, che fu recepita nei diversi Stati membri (in Italia mediante il D. lgs. 109/1992). Nel 2003, la Direttiva 79/112/CEE fu abrogata dalla Direttiva 2000/13/CEE. In Italia, il legislatore anziché emanare una nuova norma, continuò ad

Il termine "speck" ha origine incerta (DE RACHEWILTZ, 1995, p. 148, nota 161), tuttavia sembra aver avuto sempre uno stretto legame con il maiale e, in particolare, con le sue parti anatomiche grasse. Secondo diverse fonti, in tedesco è utilizzato per qualificare il lardo (BULLE e RIGUTINI, 1896, p. 426; GIACOMA e KOLB, 2009, p. 978) e la pancetta...
I documenti comprovanti la presenza dell’olivo in Piemonte in tempi lontani sono numerosi. Già nel Basso Medioevo, il canavesano Pietro da Bairo, tra le ricette di un trattato medico, indicò capperi ed olive quali ingredienti principali di antipasti piccanti o leggermente aciduli (“cappares cum aceto conditi, olive condite”) utili a stimolare l’app...
The italian swine market is going through a serious crisis due to a supply-side excess in pork used for prepacked PDO products and simultaneous increases in production costs.

Water is both a finite good and a public resource to save, however it is more and more lacking. The ineffective water system in the agricultural sector is the first responsible of this lack. In a context of sustainable farming, the most important aim is to rationalize the use of water by developing drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. The goal of...
La riduzione dell’impatto ambientale è una tematica ormai consolidata in molti settori produttivi del comparto no food; prodotti quali carta, detersivi e derivati delle produzioni agricole sono stati oggetto di numerose iniziative di sensibilizzazione e di educazione ambientale rivolte ai consumatori. Tale orientamento ha trovato recente rispondenz...
Le iniziative intraprese dalla Comunità europea e dai diversi livelli di governo locale sono accomunate dalla medesima finalità: rendere riconoscibile la qualità delle produzioni agroalimentari caratterizzate da aspetti legati al territorio ed alla cultura europea in un’ottica di sviluppo e di opportunità di crescita territoriale, di consolidamento...

I would explore the behaviour of the consumers when they use olive oil and wine obtained in harsh environment e.g. mountain areas and, in particular, I wish to understand if they are willing to pay an extra price. Have you any advice related to this topic?
We analyze the food truck phenomenon in a specific urban area of Italy and we try to discuss the different food services offered by trucks i.e. traditional food truck and gourmet food truck. We take into consideration the gastronomic offer, the price menu and the vocational education of food truckers.
I am interested in food quality systems dedicated to safeguard tradition and culture in the food sector. The EU pursues the objectives of protecting and safeguarding European agro-food production through the creation and application of instruments such as food safety rules, the Common Agricultural Policy, the Rural Development Policy and food quality systems i.e. PDO, PGI and TSG. Sometimes these issues are developed and improved at local level e.g. the establishment of Traditional Foodstuffs in Italy (Ministerial Decree 350/99) or the Romanian legislation dedicated to the valorization of traditional products (Decree no. 724 of 29 July 2013 – Ordinul 724/2013).
Can anyone indicate other national rules as to traditional products? Thank you
