Speck Alto Adige Consortium
Commitment to tradition and origin
For decades, the consortium has stood for quality, protection and the joint responsibility of producers towards a unique product.
The Speck Alto Adige Consortium is the official protective association of Speck Alto Adige PGI producers. Founded in 1992 by 17 producers based in the Bolzano/Bozen Chamber of Commerce, it is responsible for protecting the geographical indication. These producers had initially joined forces in the early 1980s to protect themselves against uncontrolled imitations and ensure consistent quality standards.
A decisive milestone was reached in 1996 when Speck Alto Adige was recognised as a Protected Geographical Indication by the European Union. In 2003, the Consortium was officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture as a Protective Consortium in accordance with Italian Law 526/99. Today, the Speck Alto Adige Consortium represents the interests of 26 producers in South Tyrol.
