Small Treasures From Europe
The approved program of the New PASEGES, Small Treasures from Europe (reference number 874714), aims to promote Greek cooperative products with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) / Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the form of a ‘basket of products.’ It also focuses on informing and raising awareness among Greek consumers about products of Greek origin.
Low Salt Olives
