#52026XC02804EU Publishes PGI Application for Romanian Cheese “Brânză frământată de Teaca”
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The EU has opened the opposition period for registering “Brânză frământată de Teaca”, a Romanian kneaded cheese made from raw cow’s milk, as a protected geographical indication. The application describes the product’s required features, including its shape, texture, taste, packaging in natural casings, and minimum fat and protein characteristics. Businesses or authorities that believe the name should not be protected have three months to object to the European Commission. If registered, the name would gain EU protection, meaning only producers meeting the approved specification and linked to the defined Romanian area could market cheese under that name.
