“…Since ancient times, the origin of goods has a significant influence on peoples' ideas, once place image and reputation can be directly associated with a product category [ 32 ]. Besides, natural conditions ( terroir ) and local know-how (savoir-faire) proved to be important sources of product distinctiveness that, once properly valued and communicated, could draw consumers' attention and preference [ 24 , 40 ]. Thus, it was around the origin that producers have cooperatively organized themselves to achieve product differentiation, higher prices, and traceability of local and typical food products through legal protection systems that are assigned to a specific form of production, as well as social traditions, symbols, and regional culture [ 49 ].…”

“…Changes in social values and consumption patterns driven by media, digitalization, and connectiveness have transformed the way food is produced and assessed by consumers. In a world where globalization intertwines food markets and food is easily available with countless options, legal designs are necessary to ensure the product’s origin [ 40 ]. Acting also as a quality cue, certifications of origin contributed to economic growth.…”

Geographical indication (GI) is used to identify a product's origin when its characteristics or quality are a result of geographical origin, which includes agricultural products and foodstuff. Metabolomics is an “omics” technique that can support product authentication by providing a chemical fingerprint of a biological system, such as plant and plant-derived products. The main purpose of this article is to verify possible contributions of metabolomic studies to the marketing field, mainly for certified regions, through an integrative review of the literature and maps produced by VOSviewer software. The results indicate that studies based on metabolomics approaches can relate specific food attributes to the region’s terroir and know-how. The evidence of this connection, marketing of GIs and metabolomics methods, is viewed as potential tool for marketing purposes (e.g., to assist communication of positive aspects and quality), and legal protection. In addition, our results provide a taxonomic categorization that can guide future marketing research involving metabolomics. Moreover, the results are also useful to government agencies to improve GIs registration systems and promotion strategies.

“…In particular, they were asked their agreement/disagreement with some statements about organic food, such as organic food being less impactful than conventional food (organic_less_impact), and whether it is safer than conventional food (organic_safer) [33,49]. Moreover, the respondents' ideas about geographical indications of food (i.e., PDO, PGI, and TSG quality labels) were investigated in terms of their agreement/disagreement with some statements such as PDO products characteristics being due to the production place (pdo_only_land); the quality of PDO food being better than conventional food (pdo_better_conventional); and PGI certified food being produced in only a particular geographical area (pgi_geogr_area) [50,53]. Moreover, the participants ideas about food with traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG) certification were also investigated, including questions about the social, economic, and environmental implication of this certification [33,53].…”

Central and South Italy are characterized by small-scale dairy farms and growing abandonment by farmers for other, better-paid, off-farm jobs. New marketing concepts for milk can be one solution to remunerate mountain farmers for their efforts. This study investigates the potential market for hay milk in Italy. In particular, we want to understand which variables drive the people’s willingness to consume hay milk, and if the European food quality certification schemes impact on people’s willingness to consume milk from hay-fed cows. Data were collected from a sample of consumers from Central and South Italy (n = 331) using a web-based survey. Later, a discrete choice probit model was applied. The main results indicate that aspects as curiosity, the production place of food, the local culinary traditions, label, and environmental issues play an important role in the people’s consumption intentions for milk from hay-fed cows. Moreover, the survey highlights that the respondents had positive opinion towards hay milk and highlighted some important marketing implications for the Italian milk sector. The study findings could encourage discussion about a niche market to boost local growth, initiating a process of improving livelihoods, certification of products, and use of the marketing tools addressed towards a specific milk consumer’s profile. In other words, the study could provide useful implications for food manufacturers and facilitate the design of marketing strategies for hay milk produced in Central and South Italy.

“…The growing dissatisfaction of food consumers from industrial production is increasingly highlighted in the literature. Their health concerns and desire to support local producers led them to look for other alternatives: products that are local, traditional and region-specific, such as food products with a geographical indication (Fernández-Ferrín et al, 2019). Products with a designation of origin, as unique and specific products from the aspect of production and quality, represent an important agricultural and food factor.…”
