Designations of origin in Czechia

Czechia has 16 designations of origin protected in the EU: 13 wines (11 PDO and 2 PGI) and 3 cheeses (0 PDO and 3 PGI). This page lists them with their type, the year of protection and the legal text of each in the European Commission’s eAmbrosia register.

In brief

The oldest on the list is “Jihočeská Niva” (protected since 2004); 3 designations share that year. 3 designations have been protected since 2010. For 16 of them the country’s interactive profile draws the production area on a map; PGI areas and some PDO areas are at the level of administrative units and may be larger than the real area.

PDO: closest link to the area (cheese: the whole process; wine: all the grapes). PGI: looser link (cheese: at least one stage; wine: at least 85% of the grapes).
