eAmbrosia, the EU geographical indications register, entry EUGI00000016967. Retrieved 2026-09-04. Register entry
Vaca Gallega – Buey Gallego 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.

As recorded in the register. The producer group is the body that filed and maintains the product specification. Its contact address is published in the register entry rather than reproduced here.
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.
