This page exists because these joins exist. A class name that joined to nothing would not have a page.
US standard of identity
No section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product. That is worth knowing: it means the name carries no compositional guarantee in the United States, and two products sold under it may have been made quite differently.
Protected names in this class
Buying it
Air-dried salted beef, and one of the few in this list where the protected name is doing almost all the work: Bresaola della Valtellina is a geographical indication rather than a designation of origin, which is the lower bar of the two, requiring at least one stage of production to happen in the defined area. Outside that name, bresaola describes a technique and nothing more.
What to read on the label. Beef cut and cure length are the variables. The protected name fixes the place at one stage, not the whole process.
Worth repeating in a buying context: no section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product, so in the United States the word on the front of the pack is a marketing term. The compositional statements that are regulated are the ones on the back, in the ingredient list and the nutrition panel.
This is not a protected designation. The listing below is a product of this type, not a registered name. The register entries for this class are listed above and none of them is what is linked here.
