The Italian Trade Agency in London is celebrating all things Italian cured meats in their promotion with ASSICA (Associazione Industriale delle Carni e dei Salumi) and IVSI (Istituto Valorizzazione Salumi Italiani), showcasing how this traditional, artisanal industry has made waves in the area of sustainability.

In Scotland they'll be hosting a few events including a show cooking demonstration with Gary Maclean and Giovanna Eusebi at the City of Glasgow College for the future of Scottish hospitality. They'll be taught all about PDO and PGI certifications, and how to use these cured meats in some traditional Italian dishes, and Scottish ones too (think Scottish scallops wrapped in Prosciutto San Daniele).

There will also be events open to the public, including special menus at Osteria dei Sapori and Locanda de Gusti in Edinburgh on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September, and a gorgeous tagliere available at Contini George Street.
