Denomination of Origin
The term "Denomination of Origin" refers to a certification that indicates a product comes from a specific geographical area and possesses unique qualities due to its location. This designation is commonly associated with food and beverages, such as wine, cheese, and olive oil, where the local environment, climate, and traditional methods contribute to the product's distinct characteristics.
Denominations of Origin help protect the reputation of regional products and promote fair competition. They ensure that consumers receive authentic items that meet specific standards, while also supporting local economies and preserving cultural heritage associated with traditional production methods.
