WHAT IS A DOP CHEESE?
The acronym D.O.P. (Protected Designation of Origin) accompanies some cheeses from the great Italian dairy tradition. It has a very specific meaning: it means that the cheese in question takes its name from the region or place from which it originated and that its characteristics depend on that particular geographical area. Only there, therefore, can its production take place. All D.O.P. products they follow traditional rules codified in a precise production specification filed with the European Commission. The specification establishes every aspect of the product in detail: from production techniques to labeling and marketing rules. To be registered in the PDO register, products must follow a complex recognition procedure. Only products that pass the difficult exam will be able to use the acronym (D.O.P.) and the European logo (yellow sun on a red field) which allow these products to be immediately identified. Italy, to date, can count on 47 D.O.P. (of which 2 ricotta) and 1 I.G.P.
