Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale
Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (PAT) is an official approval for traditional Italian regional food products similar to the protected geographical status of the European Union. A list of approved products is published by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies.[1] It lists only products that do not qualify for pan-European approval, and as such PAT is only applicable within Italy.[citation needed]
The denomination is attributed by each regional government, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies.
In 2019 a total of 5128 products carried PAT certification; the region with the largest number of approved products was Campania, with 531.[2]
