PGI: AREA AND REGULATIONS<\/h1><\/div>

As sincere as its land<\/h1><\/div>

Obtained in 2016 – after a long procedure followed by A.P.A.R. (Association of Reggiana Watermelon Producers) with the support of the Province of Reggio Emilia – PGI certification<\/strong> confirms the quality of what is a centuries-old traditional crop in the lower Reggio Emilia area.<\/p>\n

A mixture of fertile soils<\/strong> – those typical of the production area -, local biodiversity<\/strong> and culture<\/strong> of an area, grown in symbiosis with the cultivation of watermelon<\/strong>, is the secret of this excellence with its unmistakable flavour and fragrance.<\/p>\n

From February 2020 A.P.A.R. has become the Consortium for the protection of PGI watermelon from Reggio Emilia<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

HISTORY<\/h2><\/div>

The tradition<\/strong> of watermelon cultivation is centuries-old in the lower Reggio Emilia region.<\/p>\n

The watermelon first reached Italy in the eleventh century<\/strong>, brought by the Arabs; it was first grown in the south and then as far up as Reggio Emilia where it became a deep-rooted crop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Always present in the banquets of noble families during the Renaissance period, its wide diffusion made it a staple food for peasant families in the nineteenth century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Famous is the episode of Garibaldi’s<\/strong> journey to Gualtieri (RE) \u2013 now the subject of a historical pageant – on 19 August 1859<\/strong>, when he saw some watermelons on display in a small shop and decided to make a stop. Together with his hot and tired escorting officers, he enjoyed and refreshed himself with this typical local product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first agricultural censuses<\/strong>, which appeared in the 19th century, document how the farmers of Novellara (RE)<\/strong> excelled in the cultivation of watermelons, demonstrating a high technical level<\/strong>, not found in the scientific texts of the time in other areas. This is a sign that centuries of cultivation tradition<\/strong> had refined the techniques to the point of making the watermelon an incomparable product as early as the 19th century.<\/p>\n

The great changes that took place in agriculture after the Second World War<\/strong> led to a further improvement in the quality<\/strong> of this fruit, which has now become one of the most appreciated Italian excellences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Today the Anguria Reggiana Watermelon is an outstanding product which has conquered the market thanks to its unique flavour, its tradition and its link with the local area.<\/p>\n<\/div>
