In 1997, the European Union registered the “Black Forest ham” as a PGI (protected geographic indication) for the protection and promotion of special typical regional products and foods with designation of origin.

Dr. Hansjörg Adler was significantly involved in making the protection of origin for Black Forest ham a reliable and relevant label. Since installing this regulation, only products that meet the criteria are entitled to be labelled “Black Forest ham”.
