Procedure details

The regional origin and quality of products are becoming increasingly important. Consumers are specifically looking for local quality products. Producers and retailers are increasingly recognizing and exploiting the potential of regional product ranges and the "Bavaria" brand. And it also has an impact outside Bavaria. Consumers at home and abroad associate "Bavaria" with values such as nature, tradition and high product expertise.

The Bavarian specialties database (see "Related links") offers comprehensive information on the variety of Bavarian specialties. Around 12,000 chefs, connoisseurs and gourmets visit the Bavarian Specialties Database every month. More than 280 regional specialties are presented here in detail and with pleasure: with information on history and tradition, distribution and consumption, with recipes and beautiful pictures.

It also provides information on Bavarian products protected by the EU. 32 agricultural products and foodstuffs from Bavaria are currently registered with the EU - 26 of them as protected geographical indications (PGI) and six as protected designations of origin (PDO). Application procedures are currently underway for two further Bavarian specialties. Eight wine products, twelve spirits and one aromatized wine-based drink are also protected.
