the fruits of this bountiful land
A less flamboyant translation would be "the produce of this fertile land". I only found five instances of the Italian phrase on Google.
Depending on the context you might want to replace "this" with "its" but it probably wouldn't fit.

: quite nice, but I'm not sure if 'bountiful' is wee bit too florid for English

That is why I offered a toned down version. The important thing is that the text as a whole is well-balanced. A string of florid phrases like this would be overdoing it.

: Florid it is and florid it should be. In Italian it's extra-florid, not to say outright tacky. So I don't see why it should be toned down in translation... rather! Like relics like balm.

: I think 'terra' here refers to the region, the area, the terroir...

Perhaps. But by nature all the products listed come from the earth. I took the "sua" to refer to the region but it depends what the previous sentence was.

the fruits/produce of this generous land
probably best to avoid 'earth', as it suggests the soil, which is not where salumi come from.

"fruits of the earth" connotate things that have grown in the soil, IMHO

I think the connection between pigs and soil is just a bit too tenuous to work with.

Note from asker:
no but the pigs eat the grass from the generous earth ... no? |
sorry, I also like soil, as in the traditon of rich soils, ... which grows the orghanic grass that pigs eat ... :) |

gifts of this generous land
I'm not entirely convinced by the idea of calling processed products like salami (or wine, or beer) "fruits", which rather suggests something that you just have to pick, Garden of Eden style.
I would be tempted to focus on the notion of "generosity" and underline it with the alliteration of "gift", which also has a certain biblical resonance.
