About European PDO/PGI
Since ancient times, our land and its people have been producing unique products, each with its own special characteristics.
In order to highlight and preserve its gastronomic wealth, the European Union adopted for the first time in 1992 regulation 2081/92, the evolution of which led to the current one Regulation-Directive (EU) 891/2022 currently in force.
Having as an aim the safeguarding products designated as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) products.

“Designation of origin” identifies products originating from a certain location, region or country and whose quality is due to, on the one hand, the particular natural environment and the tradition and on the other hand the anthropogenic factors of the region. PDO products are exclusively and entirely produced within a specified geographical area.
