Ragusano PDO joins Afidop: Italy’s PDO cheese system is strengthened
- Information
The Ragusano PDO Protection Consortium has chosen to join Afidop-Association of Italian PDO and PGI Cheeses, beginning the process that will bring one of Sicily’s most prestigious cheese productions into the association’s membership.
A decision that strengthens Italy’s PDO cheese system and confirms the determination to work together to enhance, protect and promote the excellence of the national dairy sector.
The announcement came during the second edition of We-Cheese – Ragusano PDO and Iblean cheeses, an event held in Ragusa, dedicated to promoting the area’s cheese-making tradition and quality products.
As part of the event, Afidop renewed its commitment to supporting protection consortia, promoting dialogue between PDOs, the sharing of experience and increasingly stronger representation for certified products.
“We are particularly pleased that the Ragusano PDO Protection Consortium has chosen to join Afidop,” said Antonio Auricchio, President of Afidop “The entry of a PDO symbolising Sicily’s cheese-making tradition represents an important added value for our Association and further strengthens the representation of Italy’s cheese-making excellence”.
