Summary
The paper deals with the theme of innovation applied to a specific case, the one of food products produced only inside a delimited region and protected by both national and EU legislation, concerning different form of appellations of origin as, for example, designation of origin or typicity for cheese, designation of origin for wines and, in general, protection of designation of origin or protection of geographical indication. In particular the paper emphasizes the dynamic aspect of the definition of standards for these products and the need for a continuous adaptation to the changes of consumers’ preferences. At the same time the paper analyses the behaviours of modern large scale retail distributors to suggest how to adapt these foods in terms of characteristics and services to buyers’ new requirements.
