# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1144/2013 of 13 November 2013 entering a name in the register of traditional specialities guaranteed [Tepertős pogácsa (TSG)], Division 1.7: Specific character of the agricultural product or foodstuff

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The specific character of ‘Tepertős pogácsa’ is based on the following:
the basic material comprising pork crackling and pork fat,
the special technique used to prepare the dough,
the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics.
The basic material, pork crackling, gives the product its character.
The crackling, which comprises the pieces obtained by frying fat bacon containing little or no meat, gives ‘Tepertős pogácsa’ its specific character. The crackling has a protein content of 12-13 %, a fat content of 82-84 % and provides at least 60 % of the fat contained in the product.
The special technique used to prepare the dough:
The crackling which is used to make the short variety also makes it possible to prepare the dough by means of a special folding technique which gives it its flaky structure; moreover, the high fat content means that the dough must undergo special preparation in cold conditions at 24–26 °C.
The physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics:
Owing to the 20-30 % fat content achieved by using the pork crackling and fat, ‘Tepertős pogácsa’ has a higher nutritive value, dries less quickly and has a longer shelf-life than other products in the same category.
