RIMINI, Italy, Dec. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The PGI Piadina Romagnola, one of the most recognizable specialties of Italian culinary tradition, will take center stage in Germany thanks to a new initiative that will bring it to the shelves of 40 FeinKost stores across the country. Thanks to an initiative promoted by the Consortium for the Promotion and Protection of the PGI Piadina Romagnola, from December 9, 2025, German consumers will have the opportunity to discover and purchase one of the symbols of Italian culinary tradition in a selection of specialty stores throughout the country.
The campaign will involve 40 specialized stores in 23 German cities, for a total of 1,840 promotional days dedicated to the PGI Piadina Romagnola. During these days, customers will have a chance to learn about the history, quality, and versatility of this unique product, protected by the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) label.
