Pork pies made in and around Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire are finally to be protected by the European Commission, having received Protected Geographical Indication status
The commission published details of the registration in the Official European Union Journal following the application by the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, which resulted from a 10-year campaign.
If no objections are received by 4 October from other member states, the product will join 34 others with the status. Chair of the MMPPA Matthew O'Callaghan said it was "about encouraging investment in local economies".
