Others included on the new list were Italian cheeses Puzzone di Moena/Spretz Tzaorì and Pecorino di Picinisco, French goat’s cheese Rigotte de Condrieu and for a Slovenian soft cheese Mohant.
Waterford blaas will join other Irish products that have already been granted the designation, including Timoleague brown pudding, Connemara Hill lamb, Imokilly Regato cheese and Clare Island salmon.
