Honey produced in Slovenia's western region of Kras can now be labelled with the protected designation of origin "Kraški med", the European Commission said Tuesday. The label may be used for eight types of honey produced from nectar collected by bees from vegetation in Kras.
Producers will be able to attach the protected designation of origin label to forest honey, blossom honey, acacia honey, lime honey, chestnut honey, St Lucie cherry honey, wild cherry honey and winter savoury honey produced from nectar collected in Kras.
This is the sixth Slovenian product with protected designation of origin on EU level. Among them are bovški sir cheeses, extra virgin olive oil from Slovenian Istria, forest honey from Kočevje, as well as tolminc and nanoški sir cheeses.
