Cafe de Colombia is a uniquely local product

Coffee produced in Colombia has become the first non-European Union product to be granted EU protection as a uniquely local product.

The specific brand, Cafe de Colombia, joins a list of some
800 foods whose identity is so tied up with the region where they are produced
that only producers in that region are allowed to use the name.
Made from exclusively Arabica plants growing in Colombia's
Andes mountains, the Cafe de Colombia brand is considered one of the best in
the world. It is produced by a local federation of coffee producers which
groups some 566,000 families and accounts for some 22 per cent of workers
employed in the country's agricultural sector.
The fact that the brand name is not privately owned, and
that 91 per cent of its coffee is sold abroad, impelled Cafe de Colombia to
seek EU protected status as a defence against possible fraud in June 2006, the
cooperative said.
The EU's lists of Protected Designation of Origin
(PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) include some 800
European products ranging from Parma ham to Scottish farmed salmon. Italy has
the highest number of products on the list, with 159.
