Iconic European PDO Products Grana Padano and Prosciutto di Parma Showcase Authenticity

Booth 11139 to Feature Two Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Products

The Consortia of Grana Padano PDO cheese and Prosciutto di Parma PDO have entered the third year of their joint promotional campaign to raise awareness about signature European foods in the North American market, focusing on American and Canadian retailers, chefs and consumers. The initiative, named “Distinctly Deliciously European,” highlights Europe’s quality schemes and centuries‑old traditions through two of its most iconic PDO products.

Grana Padano PDO and Prosciutto di Parma PDO bear the European Union’s Protected Designation of Origin label, meaning they are produced exclusively in specific regions following strict specifications. Rooted in centuries‑old know‑how, these products reflect a food culture where origin, craftsmanship, and tradition are inseparable from quality.

Both products will be showcased at The National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show, as part of the “Distinctly Deliciously European” program, May 16-19, at booth 11139, located in the Global Food Expo, Lakeside, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. Hosted annually in Chicago, the Show gathers restaurateurs, chefs, foodservice and hospitality professionals to connect, network and explore emerging products and trends.

Through live engagement and tastings, the Consortia will demonstrate the culinary versatility of Grana Padano PDO and Prosciutto di Parma PDO, offering chefs practical inspiration for menu development. Their distinct flavor profiles underscore the role of these products as premium European ingredients capable of elevating professional food service applications.
