Book Description

The Atlas of typical food from Montenegro seeks to promote not only the high quality traditional products presented in this volume, but also to raise awareness of the importance of preserving and protecting Montenegrin culinary heritage, local traditions and the rural economy. This Atlas builds on the inventory of origin-linked products and traditional dishes in Montenegro that could be registered as PDOs, PGIs and TSGs. Origin-linked products reflect the intersection of nature and culture - the accumulation of local knowledge and traditions passed down over the years in a specific geographical location. By adopting quality schemes such as protected denomination of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI), in line with the European Union, quality-oriented producers can differentiate and protect their products on the market, ultimately preserving and promoting their unique food heritage.
