PDO<\/strong> and PGI<\/strong> are two certifications synonymous of high quality typical enogastronomical products<\/strong>. But do you know what is the difference between PDO and PGI<\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DOP<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the field of enogastronomy<\/strong>, but not only, it often happens that these two marks<\/strong> are overlapped, exchanged or considered almost as synonyms. Although the common denominator is the geographical element<\/strong>, there are actually some differences between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s first see what the two a<\/span>cronyms stand for:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 PDO<\/b> stands for Protected Designation of Origin<\/strong>: it indicates the quality of food products are exclusively due to the peculiarity<\/strong> of the territory where they are made.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0PGI<\/strong> stands for Protected Geographical Indication<\/strong>: it means the characteristics of the product depend on its geographical origin.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As subtle as the difference in definition may seem, in reality the two acronyms claim a precise connotation. <\/span><\/p>\n

All the phases of production<\/strong>, processing<\/strong> and elaboration<\/strong> of a PDO<\/strong><\/a> product must take place within a specific geographical area<\/strong>. In the PGI<\/strong>, instead, only one of them<\/strong> must take place within a specific territory.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, PDOs are subject to stricter regulations, the rules of which are enforced by a control authority<\/strong> of the European Union<\/strong>, which is also the body that issues both trademarks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pdo<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes there are products that can be both PGI and PDO.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the case, for example, of Balsamic Vinegar<\/strong>. According to the disciplinary, Balsamic vinegar PGI must be produced in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia with local grapes. In case of PDO, vines must be cultivated<\/strong> in the province<\/strong> of<\/strong> Modena and registered in the Protected Designation of Origin.<\/strong> In this case the only ingredient present must be must.<\/p>\n

In PGI it is possible to add caramel, whereas in case of aging it must be aged for 3 years (PGI) instead of 12 (PDO).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a very brief summary, the geographical connotation is even more stringent in PDO<\/strong> products. It is worth noting that since 2010 also the Italian DOC<\/strong> and DOCG<\/strong> marks (for wines) have been included in this acronym.<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, PDO and PGI designations are two marks whose goal is to protect<\/strong> the quality<\/strong> standards<\/strong> of agri-food products, safeguard production methods<\/strong> and provide consumers with clear information<\/strong> about their characteristics<\/strong>. They are a guarantee<\/strong> about the quality<\/strong> and value<\/strong> of products.<\/span><\/p>\n
