DOP certification

DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) certification is a legal label used in the European Union to protect and guarantee the origin and authenticity of certain food products, especially traditional regional items like cheeses, wines, and olive oils. It ensures that a product is made, processed, and prepared in a specific geographic area following recognized methods, preserving local heritage and quality. When you see the DOP label, it indicates the product meets strict standards and supports genuine craftsmanship linked to its geographic origin.
