Bulgarian yoghurt has been listed in the European Register of Protected Designations of Origin (PDO), Agriculture Minister Kiril Vatev announced in Brussels. "This traditional Bulgarian product is famous worldwide for its beneficial properties and its listing in the register as a PDO provides better conditions for its promotion," he said.

It will grant yoghurt processors a competitive advantage on the market and consumers an additional guarantee of the origin and quality of the product.

Yoghurt is the second Bulgarian product to be registered as a protected designation of origin at European level, after ‘Strandzhanski manov med’ (Honeydew honey from the Strandzha region).
