Certification Awards
This year’s Marchio Ospitalita’ Italiana (Italian Hospitality Seal)
certification awards were presented by comedian Vittorio
Leonardi who delighted guests with some entertaining thoughts
regarding Italy, Italian cuisine, and life as an Italian-South

international network within which and around which events
can be organized to promote Italian products of the highest
quality, and to create new opportunities and occasions to
promote Italian restaurants around the world (RIM) and the

provincia di Cremona in una zona che viene
considerata strategica perche’ equidistante da
Parma e Mantova, territori in cui si allevano il 54%
dei suini nazionali.
Il salumificio Gandolfi, oltre ad essere in possesso da
oltre 30 anni del Bollo CE “IT 627 L”, ha intrapreso
nel 1999 un percorso di certificazione volontaria nel
1999, ottenendo la certificazione di sistema qualita’
secondo le UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 e ISO 9002.
La caratteristica predominante dell’azienda e’
rappresentata dal sistema operativo,
che ha
permesso di inserirla dalla camera di commercio di
Cremona nell’elenco delle aziende la cui produzione
alimentare tradizionale e’ quella risultante da
tecniche di lavorazione in cui sono riconoscibili gli
elementi tipici della cultura locale e regionale, il cui
processo produttivo mantiene contenuti e caratteri
di manualita’ e i processi di conservazione,
stagionatura e invecchiamento avvengono con
metodi naturali.
All’estero i principali paesi in cui Salumificio Gandolfi
esporta sono Germania, Francia, Svezia, Finlandia e
Grecia, ma un azione per tastare le possibilita’ del
mercato sudafricano e’ gia’ cominciata.

SNC is an Italian company situated
in Cremona, Italy. Gandolfi is a
leader in the production of Salami.

30 years, and in 1999 voluntarily

of Commerce as one of the companies whose traditional food processing and
manufacturing methods still respect typical local and regional culture; while its
production, preservation and seasoning processes are still undertaken as per
age-old customs and using natural methods and ingredients. Salumificio
