The U.S. Dairy Export Council, the Consortium for Common Food Names and its European counterpart signed an agreement to pave the way for new dialogue on the protection of geographical indication products while allowing the use of generic terms. The agreement recognizes the distinctive character name Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO and its territory of production while also recognizing the rights of all to use the generic term mozzarella to describe a cheese product.
