As of July 25, 2026, a total of 245 entities and 752 products from different sectors and subsectors had joined the Andalusian “Gusto del Sur” label, less than three years after its launch, said Ramón Fernández Pacheco, the regional minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development.
Fernández Pacheco said products bearing the label are promoted through advertising, training activities and food-industry fairs attended by the Andalusian government. The regional government created the label to improve the sector’s competitiveness and support the marketing and international sales of its products. The minister said the label identifies and highlights quality food and drink and helps consumers recognize and appreciate them.
By province, Jaén had the most participating entities, with 59, followed by Córdoba with 37, Granada with 31, Seville with about 30, Almería with 24, Huelva with 22, Málaga with 21 and Cádiz with 18. Two participating entities are based outside Andalusia: one in Alfaro, La Rioja, and one in Gijón, Asturias.
Olive oil was the largest sector by number of entities, with 110. Fruit and vegetables accounted for 39 entities, and wine and vinegar for 36. Other represented sectors include table olives, rice, pulses and pasta, preserves, sauces, soups and jams, sweets and honey, pickles and spices, nuts and snacks, eggs, ham and cured meats, fishing and aquaculture, and prepared meals.
The figures for certification and production standards include 103 entities registered under at least one Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), five under a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG), 25 under GLOBAL G.A.P., 31 under a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), 93 under organic production, 25 under integrated production and five under the “Vino de la Tierra” designation. These totals exceed 245 because some entities meet more than one standard for their registered products.
