Buying this protected name

Everything above is a statement about a document. Salchichón de Vic / Llonganissa de Vic means the specification filed under PGI-ES-0119 was followed, in the area that specification defines, and that a control body signed it off. A jar of the same word made somewhere else is not a worse version of this product; under EU law it is not this product at all.

That is why the listing below had to carry the protected name in its own title before it could appear here. This site runs one search per registered name and attaches nothing unless the seller makes the claim themselves. There is no substitute, no closest match and no generic stand-in, because the whole subject of this page is that the words are not interchangeable. Pepper, not paprika. If it is red it is a chorizo whatever the label says.

What the seller is claiming. This listing puts the protected name Salchichón de Vic / Llonganissa de Vic in its own title, so the seller is making the designation claim rather than describing a style. Whether the product in the box carries the consortium mark is a question about that box, and the mark on the packaging is what answers it.
