“POUR IT. SLICE IT. CUT IT”- THREE LEADING ITALIAN FOOD & WINE CONSORTIUMS LAUNCH A 3-YEAR LONG NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN: ENJOY EUROPEAN QUALITY

Press Conference/Presentations:

New York - Thursday, January 18, 2018 at Il Gattopardo

San Francisco - Monday, January 22, 2018 at The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square

Miami, FL (January 10, 2018) – Enjoy European Quality (EEQ), is a 3-year project cofounded by the European Community designed to increase the awareness and recognition of European quality products within the food and wine sector with sparkling wines promoted by the Consorzio di Tutela dell’Asti D.O.C.G., cured deli meat from the Istituto Valorizzazione Salumi Italiani and cheese from Consorzio Tutela Provolone Valpadana D.O.P. within various cities in the United States. A presentation/press conference will be held at the legendary Gattopardo Restaurant in New York City, January 18 to launch the promotions.

The campaign will consist of workshops, business-to-business meetings, restaurant-week promotions, lifestyle events, point-of-sale promotions, social media activities in all major US markets: Miami, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and select cities in Ohio and Michigan geared towards end consumers, buyers, distributors, large-scale retail trade, chefs, sommeliers, food experts, media and opinion leaders.

The three Consortium committed in providing the outmost quality products following the strict European PDO & PGI regulations within the project are:

- Consorzio di Tutela dell’Asti D.O.C.G. -

Founded in 1932, the Consorzio per la Tutela dell’Asti works to protect, develop and promote ASTI and MOSCATO d’ASTI all over the world. These premium products are leaders in the segment of quality “sweet” wines and sparkling wines and they represent a vast background of culture, memories, traditions, knowledge and stories of entire family lineages that have dedicated their entire lives to sacrifice and commitment to their vineyards. ASTI Dolce D.O.C.G. is made entirely from Moscato Bianco grapes. It has a characteristic musky flavor, well-balanced sweetness and acidity along with a moderate alcohol content. ASTI Secco (Dry) D.O.C.G., officially granted DOCG status in 2017, is also made from Moscato Bianco grapes. Developed with the assistance of the Consorzio’s Research Lab and characterized by particularly fine and persistent beading, dry ASTI offers a fresh mouthfeel which makes it suitable as a full-meal wine. Following the recognition of ASTI Spumante’s DOCG status in 1993, a distinction was established between ASTI and MOSCATO d’ASTI, both made from the same varietal. MOSCATO d’ASTI D.O.C.G. is one of the most recognizable products of Piedmontese wine-making with its intense musky aroma and delicate flavor reminiscent of wisteria and linden, peach and apricot with hints of sage, lemon and orange blossom.

- Istituto Valorizzazione Salumi Italiani -

The “Institute for the valorization of Italian deli meat”, a not for profit organization, was formed in 1985 in response to the growing need for information from consumers with the aim of improving the image of Italian deli meats. IVSI has become a reference point for education and training programs about the production process and economic, nutritional and cultural aspects of the various aspects of Italian Salumi both in Italy and abroad, promoting a unique culinary heritage of Made in Italy food products.

Cold cuts belong to the oldest Italian food heritage and are the expression of the culture of the territory where natural foods are produced. Over the centuries, the production and consumption of cold cuts have become increasingly relevant: from the Italian Renaissance triumphs where gastronomic art was developing, up to the XIX century, when the first food labs and first deli meat spread to Italy. The commitment of the entire production has been able to combine production tradition with modern nutritional needs. Nowadays, in a balanced diet, cold cuts are a valuable source of protein, minerals, and vitamins from Group B.

- Consorzio Tutela Provolone Valpadana D.O.P. -

Provolone Valpadana PDO comes from the family of “pasta filata” (spun paste) cheeses, which are characterized by the technique of “spinning” the curd. It is the cheese with the greatest variety of shapes and weights of any other dairy product, thanks to the plasticity of the paste, which - during processing - allows cheese makers to dabble in different ways.

The Production Regulation for Provolone Valpadana PDO has safeguarded this cheese culture through the identification of a geometric type, replicated in the different weights.There are five typical forms: spherical, pear, cylindrical, salami, and mandarin. They can be produced in weights ranging from 500g to over 100kg.

The two types of Provolone Valpadana PDO are:

• “Dolce”, which is distinguished by the use of veal rennet and is aged for no more than 2-3 months.

• “Piccante”, which is distinguished by the use of kid and/or lamb rennet paste and is aged for a minimum of 3 months to over a year.
