What does the DOP symbol mean?
The icon Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (DOP) on Italian cheeses indicates Protected Designation of Origin, which guarantees that a given cheese has been produced according to traditional methods and comes from a specific region in Italy. Products marked with DOP must meet stringent standards, including the origin of raw materials, production methods, and quality control, ensuring their authenticity and high quality.
Examples of Italian cheeses marked as DOP include Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano, Gorgonzola, and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana.
What does the IGP symbol mean?
The symbol IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée), or Protected Geographical Indication, is a European quality certification that indicates that the product comes from a specific region and its quality, reputation, or other characteristics are linked to that place. In the case of French cheese, this means that at least one stage of production (e.g., manufacturing, processing, or preparation) takes place in a specified region.
Thanks to IGP, consumers can be assured that the cheese has a unique relationship with the region from which it comes and meets strict quality standards. This designation aims to protect traditional products and their regional production methods. Cheeses with IGP draw their uniqueness from local raw materials, knowledge, and traditions, as well as the specific climatic conditions of the region.
What does the PDO symbol mean?
The symbol PDO stands for Protected Designation of Origin. It is a European designation granted to food and agricultural products that come from a specific region and are closely linked to its traditions, climate, and production techniques. PDO is one of the three main EU quality designations, alongside PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and TSG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed).
Products marked with the PDO symbol:
- Must be produced, processed, and prepared in the specified geographical region according to established traditional methods.
- They have unique properties that result from the specific geographical conditions of a given area, such as climate, soil, production traditions, or agricultural culture.
- They are subject to strict quality controls and must meet specific standards.
Examples of PDO products include, for instance, Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan cheese from Italy), Roquefort (French blue cheese), or Prosciutto di Parma (Parma ham).
