PDO and PGI products are epitomes of European agri-food production excellence. They are the result of a unique combination of human and environmental factors that are characteristic of a given territory.
For this reason, the European Union has set out precise rules to protect these products, by establishing specific regulatory quality schemes to safeguard the good faith of the consumers. These rules also aim to provide the producers with concrete tools to better identify and promote their products with specific characteristics, in addition to protecting them from unfair practices.
