Agriculture — Geographical area of a cheese-type protected designation of origin in Loir-et-Cher

The PDO, the protected designation of origin, corresponds to the European controlled designation of origin. It is the name of a region, a specified place or, in exceptional cases, a country, which is used to designate an agricultural product or foodstuff originating in that region, place or country, of which: — the quality or characteristics are due essentially or exclusively to the geographical environment comprising natural and human factors and — production, processing and production take place in the defined geographical area. A designation includes 1 to n denomination(s) and 1 to n products (e.g. the colours of the wines, which may be subject to specific delimitations).受保护原产地标识（Protected Designation of Origin，下文简称PDO）对应欧盟受控原产地标识。该标识为区域、特定地点，特殊情形下也可采用国家名称，用于标注源自该区域、地点或国家的农产品或食品。此类产品需满足两项核心条件：其一，其品质或特征本质上或完全由涵盖自然与人为因素的地理环境所决定；其二，其生产、加工及制备工序均在上述划定的地理区域内完成。一项原产地标识可包含1至多个命名，以及1至多款产品（例如葡萄酒的色泽，可受特定范围界定约束）。
