Appellation System

The Appellation System is a method used to categorize and identify products, particularly food and beverages, based on their geographical origin. This system ensures that items such as wine, cheese, or olive oil meet specific quality standards and are made in particular regions. For example, “Champagne” can only come from the Champagne region of France. This label not only signifies quality and tradition but also protects producers from imitation. By understanding appellations, consumers can make informed choices about the authenticity and quality of the products they purchase.
