Swiss protected geographic appellation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
In Switzerland, the appellation d'origine protégée (French pronunciation: [apɛlasjɔ̃ dɔʁiʒin pʁɔteʒe], lit. 'protected designation of origin'; abbr. AOP [a.o.pe]) is a geographical indication (see also Appellation) protecting the origin and the quality of traditional food products other than wines (wines have another label called appellation d'origine contrôlée, AOC, 'controlled designation of origin').
In the past, the appellation d'origine contrôlée certification was used for both wines and other food products. In 2013, to match the system of the European Union, the appellation d'origine contrôlée was replaced by the appellation d'origine protégée for agricultural products other than wine.
