List of Portuguese food and drink products with protected status

A number of food and drink products from Portugal have been granted Protected Geographical Status under European Union law and UK law through the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) or Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) regimes. The legislation is designed to protect regional foods and came into force in 1992.

In 2021, the following indications were registed:

  • 94 Portuguese PDOs or DOP (Denominação de Origem Protegida)
  • 85 Portuguese PGIs or IGP (Indicação Geográfica Protegida)
  • 1 Portuguese TSGs (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed) or ETG (Especialidade Tradicional Garantida)

Do not confuse with DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada), which is a Portuguese national classification scheme.
