Bresaola of Valtellina IGP DOP
The word Bresaola, formerly Brazaola, Brisaola or Bresavola, has uncertain origins. Its etymology can be found in words "brasa" (embers) or "brisa". In the first case it's braziers used to dry air in the rooms used for seasoning, in the second one it's a dialect word for "salting".
The product was certified as IGT (Identification of Geographic Territory) and DOP (Denomination of Protected Origin) in 1992.
