[MaltaPermRep 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @MaltainEU]

It is always a pleasure hosting future leaders @MaltainEU. Transforming the realities into opportunities is our daily mission in #whatwedo.

[MaltaPermRep 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @MaltainEU]

Today, we turn our attention again to agricultural matters, focusing on the vision for agriculture and food. The Vision, presented this year, emphasises building the resilience of the agriculture sector to economic and environmental shocks.@AntonRefalo

[Gerardo Fortuna @gerardofortuna]

A food pairing made in heaven: Grójec apples, courtesy of @POLAND25EU, meet Malta's Ġbejna tan-nagħaġ, recently become first @MaltainEU's product protected under the EU food quality scheme. EU agricultural policy often sparks criticism, but it enables moments like this to happen!

[MaltaPermRep 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @MaltainEU]

Il-Ġbejna tan-nagħaġ (cheeselet) recognised by the EU as a product of a Protected Denomination of Origin. We are proud of #Malta's culinary heritage and looking forward to savouring it 😉. 👏 to all those who worked for this achievement!

[Christophe Hansen @CHansenEU]

Geographical Indications are a celebration of our diverse culinary heritage & traditions

Glad to have registered the 1st Maltese food GI – ġbejna tan-nagħaġ – thereby recognising & protecting 🇲🇹 sheep's cheese quality as an artisanal & regional product

Tasting w/ @AntonRefalo
