Areas of Differentiated Quality: Cheeses and Butter

Differentiated Quality Maps, generated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment (MAPAMA), correspond to a national mapping of the product families of the geographical areas covered by Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGIs). In this cartography, the geographical areas available for the Cheese and Butter family are defined and described. The Protected Designations of Origin (PDOs) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGIs) constitute the system used in our country for the recognition of a differentiated quality, as a consequence of its own and differential characteristics, due to the geographical environment in which the raw materials are produced, the products are produced, and the influence of the human factor that participates in them. Differentiated quality maps include only those products with PDOs and PGIs approved by the European Union.
