Are you looking for a PDO product?
PDO stands for Protected Designation of Origin. It is the most known and used acronym officially recognized and shared at European level. The peculiar quality characteristics of PDO foods depend in whole or in part on the geographical environment in which they are produced, where geographical environment means the set of environmental factors (such as the characteristics of the territory and the climate) and human factors (ie the artisanal production techniques handed down over time).
With this brand, therefore, both territoriality and respect for production methods are guaranteed, thanks to which an inimitable product is obtained outside that specific production area. Moreover, in addition to all the stages of production, all the phases of transformation and processing of the products must also take place in that specific geographical area.
Are you looking for an organic product?
BIO is any food product made with organic methods therefore without the use of chemical synthesis substances. The label is obtained only if the products use at least 95% of agricultural ingredients grown organically and compliant with the national control and certification system.
