Protected Geographical Indication is a crucial framework set up by the European Union to give legal protection to select food products such as in this case, coffee. This scheme was deemed essential due to increasing globalization that created niches of more conscious customers who had a general distrust of unauthentic products. The PGI mark represents a link between the product’s quality and its origins, thus guaranteeing that the product is indeed the work of local coffee growers from the mountainous regions of Colombia.
The holder of a Café de Colombia certificate, such as Montier, commits to continuous control of compliance that guarantees the quality of the certified coffee product. Businesses must meet specific requirements to use the Café de Colombia logo.
Colombian coffee isn’t just a beverage; it is a rich tradition that needs to be safeguarded and protected to maintain authenticity. The PGI mark assures you that the product you are buying is authentic and trustworthy. It is a testament to our ethics and the commercialization of coffee from farm to home.
