TradiFlavours

Traditional foods are an important part of many local economies and a vital part of the local heritage. Their importance has even been recognised by UNESCO dedicating significant space in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, where you can find traditional foods and preparations as the Mediterranean diet, the traditional Mexican cuisine, Gastronomic meal of the French, Washoku - food preparation and consumption practice in Japan and many other. The European Union as loyal preserver of the European traditions, has given own contribution by introducing the EU schemes of geographical indications and traditional specialties, known as protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG).
