A new Italian Geographical Indication enters the European register. It is the Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle PDO. The registration of the new denomination brings Italy to 312 GI food specialties recognized in the EU.

This kind of mozzarella is a fresh cheese made from spun paste, produced only from whole cow’s milk with the addition of whey. It comes in three different shapes: spherical, knot and braid.
