Protected Cheeses
GI-protected cheeses have specific legal frameworks in place, designed to safeguard their unique regional and traditional characteristics. This protection ensures that only cheeses made in a designated geographical area, using traditional methods passed down through generations, can carry the prestigious designation, such as PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) or PGI (Protected Geographical Indication).
These frameworks not only preserve the heritage, craftsmanship and provide security for local producers but also protect consumers from misleading or counterfeit products. By adhering to strict production criteria, GI-protected cheeses maintain a consistent level of quality and authenticity, allowing consumers to trust that the cheese they are purchasing is genuinely tied to its region of origin and the cultural practices that define it.
