🇬🇧 English

This regulation formally registers the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) 'Erbazzone Reggiano' in the EU's official register of geographical indications. The name refers to a traditional Italian savory pie made primarily in the Reggio Emilia area. No objections were received during the opposition period. One company, Sfoglia Torino S.r.l., located outside the designated geographical area, has been granted a transitional period until 31 December 2028 to continue using the name, as it had been legally marketing the product under that name for more than five years prior to registration.
