Das Qualitätssiegel g.U.: Geschützte Ursprungsbezeichnung erklärt

Protected Designation of Origin

A Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is an EU quality label for agricultural products and foodstuffs, indicating that these products are produced, processed, and made in a specific region under certain conditions. It is a protective right that ensures that only products meeting the specified quality requirements and originating from the designated region may be marketed under the protected designation of origin. This label is important for consumers as it provides them with information about the product's origin and unique characteristics. For producers, the protected designation of origin is of great advantage as it sets their products apart from others. An example of an agricultural product with a protected designation of origin is "Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Kalamata," which is produced in the Kalamata region of Greece and meets the highest quality standards. Italian Parmigiano Reggiano and French Roquefort cheese are also examples of products with protected designations of origin.
