The “Productes de l’Empordà” (Empordà Products) brand was created as a result of the desire of the county councils of the Alt and Baix Empordà regions and a group of producers to personalise and recognise local Empordà products and to help to promote the commercialisation and sale of these products from the region.
The brand denoting quality was awarded in September 2003 and guarantees that all the products with the brand name are produced or prepared, transformed and packaged in the Empordà region, following local traditions. The producers also have to undertake periodical controls by a food laboratory to certify the quality of the different phases of the product.
The products included in the “Productes de l’Empordà” (Empordà Products) are Figueres onion, Brunyols de l’Empordà, Sweet sausage, Pals Rice, Stuffed apples from Vilabertran, Recuit (Curds), blond-eyed bean and Prawn from Palamós.
