The “Babicul de Buzău” variety of garlic has been officially registered with the European Union as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product. This registration, formalized through a European Commission implementing regulation published in the EU Official Journal on Thursday, recognizes the unique qualities associated with garlic grown in the Buzău region of Romania. The PGI status protects the name “Babicul de Buzău” from misuse and ensures authenticity linked to its specific origin. This designation aims to promote the product and support local producers by highlighting its regional characteristics. The registration acknowledges the garlic’s connection to traditional farming practices and the local terroir of Buzău. This is a significant step for Romanian agricultural products seeking recognition within the EU market.
