DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN

Designations of origin are a form of protection and promotion of agricultural, food and beverage products that are produced in a specific region and that have unique characteristics that differentiate them from other similar products. Through designations of origin, consumers can identify products that are produced in a certain region and that meet certain quality and authenticity requirements.

Designations of origin are established through a certification process that is carried out by public or private organizations that have the authority to grant and oversee designations of origin. In order for a product to be certified as having a designation of origin, it must meet certain criteria, such as the place of production , crop varieties , production methods , processing and packaging .

The benefits of designations of origin are multiple. Firstly, consumers can be assured that the products they buy are authentic and of high quality . The local economy is also boosted, as local producers have an incentive to improve the quality of their products and maintain the culinary traditions of the region. Furthermore, designations of origin can have a positive impact on tourism and the promotion of local culture.

However, there are also challenges associated with designations of origin. In some cases, producers may try to exploit the designation of origin to obtain a higher price for their products without meeting quality and authenticity requirements. In addition, designations of origin can limit innovation and change in food and drink production, as producers are required to follow certain production practices and techniques.

Finally, they are an important tool to protect and promote the quality and authenticity of local products and to foster the local economy. That is what we want to show at Vecinos Market Spain, our EVOO is a designation of origin, don't miss it!
