Origini Edition
The new selection of sandwiches designed to celebrate Italian quality certified by protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI).
People travel to discover new destinations, new landscapes, new friends and new cultures. But also to discover who we really are, our roots, our origins.
This was the seed of Origini Edition, the new selection of sandwiches designed to celebrate Italian PDO and PGI certified quality.
Sandwiches made with real flavours, expressions of unique territories, communities and traditions. Because origins are always the best places to start from.
A project in collaboration with Fondazione Qualivita
Autogrill is launching Origini Edition, the new selection of sandwiches designed to celebrate Italian PDO and PGI certified excellence in collaboration with Fondazione Qualivita.
The project aims to promote local industries and premium agrifood products whose quality, characteristics and reputation are indissolubly tied to their place of origin.
Do we really know what choosing a PDO or PGI ingredient means?
We often hear them spoken about, but do we know what’s hidden behind these initials? Together with Fondazione Qualivita, we decided to make every stop-off at Autogrill an opportunity to discover the genuine value of our premium products. Find out what these certifications guarantee and why they make every bite of the Origini Edition line unique.
Defining marks
PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) are European labels that guarantee the traceability of agri-food products originating from a specific territory, from which their quality, characteristics, and reputation derive.
PDO
Protected Designation of Origin
This indicates agrifood products originating from a territory in which all the production phases determining their specific qualities are carried out.
PGI
Protected Geographical Indication
This indicates agrifood products originating from a territory in which at least one production phase determining a specific quality and reputation is carried out.
