Denominazione Comunale D'origine
''Denominazione comunale d'origine'' (De.CO) or ''denominazione comunale'' (De.Co.) is an Italian recognition established and granted by the municipal administration in order to protect and enhance a typical product, a traditional recipe, an agri-food business or a craft product (food and non-food) in close correlation with the territory and its community, without any overlap with the designations of origin in force. The municipal designation of origin, unlike designations such as PDO, PGI, and TSG, is not a quality indication, but a certificate of typicality. Description The De.Co. were established following state law no. 142 of 8 June 1990, which allows municipalities the right to regulate, within the scope of the principles on administrative decentralization, regarding the enhancement of traditional agri-food activities. Since 2002, they have normally been established using a model regulation prepared by National Association of Italian Municipalities. In some cases, for exa ...

Protected Designation Of Origin
The protected designation of origin (PDO) is a type of geographical indication of the European Union aimed at preserving the designations of origin of food-related products. The designation was created in 1992 and its main purpose is to designate products that have been produced, processed and developed in a specific geographical area, using the recognized know-how of local producers and ingredients from the region concerned. Features The characteristics of the products protected are essentially linked to their terroir. The European or UK PDO logo, of which the use is compulsory, documents this link. European Regulation 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 acknowledges a priority to establish a community protection system that ensures equal conditions of competition between producers. This European Regulation is intended to guarantee the reputation of regional products, adapt existing national protections to make them comply with the requirements of the World Trade Organization, and info ...

Geographical Indications And Traditional Specialities In The European Union
Three European Union schemes of geographical indications and Traditional food, traditional specialties, known as protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG), promote and protect names of agricultural products and foodstuffs, wines and spirits. Products registered under one of the three schemes may be marked with the logo for that scheme to help identify those products. The schemes are based on the legal framework provided by the EU Regulation No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. This regulation applies within the EU as well as in Northern Ireland. Protection of the registered products is gradually expanded internationally via bilateral agreements between the EU and non-EU countries.

Traditional Speciality Guaranteed
A traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG; : traditional specialities guaranteed) is a traditional food product protected under European Union and/or United Kingdom law. This label differs from the geographical indications protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI) in that the TSG label does not certify that the protected food product has a link to a specific geographical area, and thus a product can be produced outside the area or country from which it originates. To qualify for the TSG label, a food must be of "specific character" and its raw materials, production method, or processing must be "traditional". Title III of European Union Regulation 1151/2012 (Articles 17-26) deals with the TSG scheme, with specific terms defined in Article 3: "specific character" is defined as "the characteristic production attributes which distinguish a product clearly from other similar products of the same category", and "traditional" is defined as "proven ...
