Up to now, about 270 cheese and dairy products have GI, PDO or TSG. Of course there are many more special products that can benefit from protection and promotion.

In order to encourage producers to apply for a GI, the European Commission has launched a new website on Geographical Indications. The aim of this website is to better facilitate producers in the process of application.

• From forming a group of producers,
• preparing a product specification and
• submitting the documents,

all is clearly explained in informative videos.

An example of a cheese with a PDO is Wrångebäcksost from Sweden. Check out this video to get to know more about how GI protects tradition and maybe you’ll see some familiar faces as well.
