\u2018Livanjski sir\u2019 today becomes a product with a prestigious EU Protected Geographical Indication, joining\u00a0a list of 3,639 products<\/a>, whose quality and traditions are recognised and protected through the EU\u2019s register for agricultural geographical indications. The EU\u2019s quality schemes and geographical indications have a strong reputation across the world, and receiving PGI status is expected to bring significant benefits for producers of \u2018Livanjski sir\u2019 when marketing themselves, in particular for small-scale producers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a\u00a0video message<\/a>\u00a0to mark this milestone, the Head of the EU Delegation and EU Special Representative in BiH Luigi Soreca said, \u201cAs of today, Livanjski sir joins products such as Champagne, Parmigiano Reggiano and Jam\u00f3n ib\u00e9rico in receiving trademark protection from the EU. Congratulations to Bosnia and Herzegovina! \u2018Livanjski sir\u2019 is the first food product in the Western Balkans to receive EU protection. Our hope is there will be more. And we stand ready to advise Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s outstanding food and drink producers how they can apply for and benefit from the EU\u2019s geographical indication and quality schemes<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The uniqueness of \u2018Livanjski sir\u2019 comes from the exceptional quality of the milk used, produced in a region where Mediterranean and continental climates meet. In this distinctive environment, with its mountain pastures and karst fields, there is rich vegetation and local aromatic herbs, which contribute to the specific taste of the cheese. Produced in Livno and neighbouring municipalities, \u2018Livanjski sir\u2019 has earned a global reputation for its quality and tradition. Since the late 19th century, its production methods have been passed down through generations, ensuring consistent quality.<\/p>\n

The protection of \u201cLivanjski sir\u201d is a tangible example of the benefits Bosnia and Herzegovina enjoys as a result of its close partnership with the European Union. The PGI label protects the authenticity of \u2018Livanjski sir,\u2019 guaranteeing that only cheese made in designated areas according to traditional methods can carry this name. This label protects not just its unique flavour but also its connection to the region climate, pastures and traditional methods of cheese production, making it a symbol of agricultural excellence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n
