Slovenian idrijski zlikrofi get special EU status
The European Commission has registered idrijski zlikrofi, a type of ravioli from the western Slovenian town of Idrija, as a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG). The status highlights characteristic composition and preparation of the foodstuff, rather its geographical origin.
Apart from the TSG list, products and foodstuffs can also get registered as Protected Designations of Origin or Protected Geographical Indications. All three lists currently comprise around 880 products or foodstuffs protected under the EU legislation.
The only other Slovenian product or foodstuff registered in such a way is the extra-virgin olive oil from Slovenian Istria, which has a Protected Designation of Origin. Nevetrheless several other Slovenian traditional foodstuffs are waiting to be registered by the European Commission, among them several types of cheese, ham, honey, pumpkin seed oil, prosciutto and cakes.
