Origin Tandil
“The Denomination of Origin protects the Salame de Tandil from falsifications and misappropriations, while establishing an elaboration protocol and a quality seal that is based on protecting a genuine, historical and recognized product in the production of a food with a particular terroir ”, He points out Pablo Cagnoli, member of the DOT Council. The climate, pastures and livestock of the area are key to obtaining the flavor that distinguishes Salame de Tandil in the world. The main objective of the Denominations of Origin is to build the protection of “know-how” and the differentiation of Argentine products with territorial identity.
In 2011, thehe sausage producers from Tandil obtained the Designation of Origin Salame de Tandil after 15 years of research. It is the second in the country for an agricultural and food product typical of a region and it certifies the elaboration of the specialty.
The Council of Domination of Origin Salame de Tandil Civil Association, made up of the consortium of local producers -Cabaña Las Dinas, Frigorífico Cagnoli, Integrated Estancias, Sysquet, UNIPORC Tandil, Charcutería Tandilera, Granja El Reencuentro, Granja 9 de Julio, Establishment El Cimarrón , Agrotechnological Institute of Tandil, Establishment San Lorenzo and María Lenoir-, is in charge of monitoring processes, promoting and protecting production.
Between the requirements that salami must meet to be within the DOThe most important are: elaboration with raw materials from the region; pasture-based cattle feeding and corn-based pig feeding; specific proportions of beef and pork; parked and cured in the Tandil climate (cold but not icy, humid in general and windy) to obtain the desired consistency and the fungal coverage known as feather, which covers the salami and gives it an ash-white color. in addition, it requires the tying and labeling of the salami by hand, the use of natural casing, the grinding of seasonings at the moment (the use of dehydrated products is not allowed) and the elaboration must be artisanal.
“The ultimate goal of the DOT is to value the local historical tradition, initiated by Italian and Spanish immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century, who settled in the foothills of the mountains due to their climate conducive to the slaughter and production of sausages” , it states Juana Echezarreta, President of the Council.
