The packaging consists of at least one sealed protective wrapping made of: food-grade cellophane, parchment, aluminium foil or other materials suitable for foodstuffs, as defined by current legislation. A second outer layer may be added outside the production area. ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ is sold in single-product packages, either whole or cut into slices with a thickness of between 0,5 cm and 1,5 cm. 3.6.

Link with the geographical area The reputation of ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ is traditionally linked to the environment and the territory which it represents. ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’, which for centuries has been prepared with whatever was available from the rural economy during the year, is the Christmas cake par excellence. Over the course of time ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ has come to represent Terni gastronomy during the Christmas festivities. The first reference to professional and ‘large-scale’ production of ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ dates back to 1913, when it was promoted by a historical bakery in Terni as the Terni cake. During the course of the 20th century, and to this day, numerous books of traditional recipes, food and tourist guides and various types of publications have referred to ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ as a typical local Christmas cake. The Italian Touring Club, in the first edition of its ‘Guida Gastronomica d’Italia’ [Italian Gastronomic Guide] published in 1931, states that ‘in Terni, don’t forget the Christmas Panpepato’; another book with the same title by Felice Cunsolo (Istituto Geografico De Agostini, Novara, 1975), in its section devoted to the Umbria Region, also mentions ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ as the typical Christmas cake of Terni. ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ is also mentioned in Loretta Santini’s tourist guide ‘Guida di Terni e del ternano’ [Guide to Terni and the surrounding area] as the sweet ‘lord of the Christmas table’ (p. 23, publisher: Qguide, 2003). The Province of Terni’s 2008 guide ‘Sapori e Profumi’ [Tastes and aromas], in its section on gastronomic Christmas traditions, lists pampepato as one of the sweet dishes. The Italian Academy of Cuisine has written various articles mentioning ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’, contained in celebratory books or specialist magazines; among the most important are: ‘I frutti del sole’ [Fruits of the sun] (2007), in which it is written: ‘Panpepato is the main sweet dish of the Christmas tradition in Terni’, and the article ‘Panpepato ternano’, where the subheading reads: ‘the main sweet dish of the Christmas tradition in the Umbrian town’ (‘Civiltà della Tavola’ [The civilisation of the table], No 299 of December 2017). Other evidence of the reputational link between ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ and the Terni area is provided by the article ‘Terni da leccarsi i baffi’ [Mouthwatering Terni], published in the daily newspaper Corriere dell’Umbria on Saturday 9 April 2016; referring to culinary traditions, the article stated that ‘Pampepato di Terni’/ ‘Panpepato di Terni’ ‘best represents the many contradictions at the heart of the Umbrian tradition. It is the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness that makes this dessert stand out and immediately become part of the Umbrian peasant tradition’. There is also an extract from the article published in the daily newspaper ‘Il Messaggero’, in the Terni local edition, on 31 December 2009: ‘Tradition dictates that since 1851 pampepato is never absent from Terni people’s tables.’ C 217/36 EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 1.7.2020 There is another interesting article published in the same newspaper, entitled ‘In gara per il migliore “Pampepato dell’anno”’ [Competing for the best ‘Pampepato of the year’], where the Terni pampepato is celebrated as ‘unique and found only in Terni and is also a symbol of tradition as evidenced by the ingredients themselves.’ (Il Messaggero of 15 December 2008). ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’ is described in the cookery magazine ‘Cucina Moderna’ as the ‘classic Christmas sweet dish’ (January 2018, p. 98, Ed. Mondadori Group). The second edition of the 2000 publication ‘La vera Umbria’ [True Umbria] features the recipe for ‘Pampepato di Terni’/‘Panpepato di Terni’, described as the typical sweet dish of Terni (La tradizione umbra nei piaceri della tavola, P.
