Commission approves a new geographical indication for Türkiye
The Commission has approved the addition of ‘Erzincan Tulum Peyniri' to the register of Protected Designations of Origin (PDO).
‘Erzincan Tulum Peyniri' is a cheese made from sheep's milk. It is matured in the sheep or goat's skin bag or plastic drums for at least 4 months. The cheese has an off-white colour, crumbly texture, and a rich, salty flavour.
‘Erzincan Tulum Peyniri' is produced in the province of Erzincan, in the East of Türkiye. Its characteristics are the result of traditional know-how and the specific natural conditions of the region, including the local flora and climate. Because of its unique geography, Erzincan province's climatic conditions have a positive influence on pasture and meadow, which eventually affect the milk composition and flavour of ‘Erzincan Tulum Peyniri'.
This new designation joins the more than 3,658 protected names already listed in the eAmbrosia database. More information is available on the Quality Policy pages.
