The Commission has approved the addition of ‘Pérail' to the register of Protected Geographical Indications (PGI).

‘Pérail' is a soft cheese made from whole sheep's milk. It has a round, flat shape and a thin, soft, melting skin. The inside is soft to the touch, and has a creamy, evenly textured consistency. Its flavour evokes sheep's milk, with hints of wool grease, curd, cream, and sometimes dried fruit.

‘Pérail' is produced in the south-west of the Massif Central. The cheese is the result of a traditional agri-pastoral system and know-how that have shaped local sheep farming and cheesemaking practices in the region. The use of whole milk, the production methods, and the specific flora involved in ripening reflect practices deeply rooted in the area's history and culture.

This new designation joins the more than 3,660 protected names already listed in the eAmbrosia database. More information is available on the Quality Policy pages.
