Denominazione d'Origine Protetta

Denominazione d'Origine Protetta (DOP) is a quality label used in Italy and the European Union to protect traditional products. It indicates that a product, like cheese, wine, or olive oil, is made in a specific region using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients. This designation ensures the product's authenticity, geographic origin, and production standards are maintained, helping consumers trust the origin and craftsmanship. Essentially, DOP safeguards regional culinary heritage, supporting local producers and ensuring that the product truly reflects its unique geographical and cultural identity.
