eAmbrosia, the EU geographical indications register, entry EUGI00000016641. Retrieved 2026-09-04. Register entry

Coppa de l'Ile de Beauté is protected across the European Union as a protected geographical indication. What that means in practice is that a document exists - the product specification - which fixes the area it may be made in, the raw material it may be made from and the method that may be used, and that a name outside those bounds may not be used on a label.

A protected geographical indication requires that at least one stage of production, processing or preparation happens in the defined area, which is a lower bar than a designation of origin.

This entry is recorded in the register with the status Rejected rather than Registered. Read it as a record of an application or a withdrawal, not as a currently protected name.

Customs classification

16 - PREPARATIONS OF MEAT, OF FISH, OF CRUSTACEANS, MOLLUSCS OR OTHER AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES, OR OF INSECTS

Publications

The register returned no publication list for this entry. Thirteen of the 407 entries in these two classes have no detail record available from the register API; this is one of the gaps, and it is recorded on the corrections page rather than filled in.

Product classes this name belongs to

What this page does not have

The register records that a specification exists and where it was published. It does not publish the specification text through its API, so this site does not reproduce salting times, ageing minimums or any other production parameter for this product. Those are in the filed document, reachable through the publications above.

Buying coppa

Not the protected designation

Nothing sold on Amazon carries the name Coppa de l'Ile de Beauté. What is linked below is coppa, the product class this designation is a variety of. It is not Coppa de l'Ile de Beauté and it is not covered by the specification filed under PGI-FR-02430. Everything above this line describes a legal claim; the product below makes no part of it.

Dry-cured pork neck muscle, sold as coppa in the north of Italy and as capocollo further south. Coppa Piacentina and Capocollo di Calabria are separate protected names for what is anatomically the same muscle treated differently, which is a useful reminder that these designations protect a method and a place rather than a cut.

What to read on the label. Coppa and capocollo are the same muscle. The protected name, where there is one, is the part that constrains the method.
