Original Balsamic Vinegar

BALSAMIC VINEGAR
OF MODENA
THE ORIGINAL

Protected Geographical Indication from Europe

CAMPAIGN FINANCED WITH AID FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION

About The Programme

The sign of best chefs

The Consorzio Tutela Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP presented to the EU, the information and promotion program “BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA, THE ORIGINAL - Protected Geographical Indication from Europe” to promote the added value of the product, in terms of authenticity, safety, traceability, and labelling guaranteed by the European trademark protection and to enhance the competitiveness of Union agrifood products in the United States, the main market of EU agrifood exports.

The campaign is therefore needed to develop positive dynamics towards the chosen US market targets and to raise informed purchasing awareness to get consumers to choose protected products over counterfeit and deceptive ones. In the US market the level of recognition of European Geographical Indication productions, such as the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, is insufficient and brand awareness is highly generic.

The action strategy involves a series of activities, structured over a three-year period, aimed at reaching the targets that the Consortium has identified as a priority in the US market: young chefs, celebrity chefs, medium/high level food service operators, food bloggers and foodies.

Given the vastness of the USA, the project activities will be focused mainly on the states of California, New York and Florida. These are characterized by high consumption of specialty foods, strong presence of high-level eating establishments and specific characteristics in the purchasing behavior of the target groups, which make them the most strategic areas for action to achieve the objectives.

The Protection Consortium is the guardian of the product specifications and a key discussion partner in all questions concerning the product at the regulatory level. It is also its “voice”, in the sense that, through dialogue with the institutions, media and the final consumers, it promotes knowledge about Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and enhances its culture.
