DOP e IGP
To protect the specificity of certain foods, the European Union has launched a set of rules and created two labels: DOP (PDO – protected designation of origin) and IGP (PGI – protected geographical indication) with a view to safeguarding both the name of each labelled product and its specific nature and characteristics from imitation and abuse, besides supporting production and helping consumer choice, with regard to quality agricultural products and foodstuffs, by providing information and guarantees about their principal features and qualities.
