In day-to-day commerce we can recognise the specialities that are currently under the protection of EU origin, either by the yellow-blue or yellow-red characters or also by the protected product name followed by the additional "PGI" or "PDO” designation.
A good feeling for both the head and heart
The purchase of foods is a matter for both the head and the heart, guided by the desire for security - and by a certain feeling for life. For consumers the EU origin symbols are clear signals: Anyone who sees these can be sure that they are buying delicacies with a specific home and a guaranteed place of origin. For example, only people who buy a bottle marked “Bayerisches Bier“ together with the “PGI” (g.g.A.) designation can be certain that they are buying a bottle with the purest beer from Bavaria in it. And only cheese which is made in particular regions of the Allgäu and from 100% Allgäu raw milk is allowed to be marketed as Allgäu Mountain Cheese P.D.O. (Allgäuer Bergkäse g.U) This protection of food specialities also stands for craftsmanship and tradition, for food with a history, with an unmistakable aroma and a warmly loved taste.

In the focus of the World Food Delicacies Heritage Bavaria campaign are the EU origin labels "protected geographical indication (PGI)” and "protected designation of origin (PDO)”: Only traditional, high-quality specialities, inseparably connected to a specific region, may bear these labels.
