# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1149/2013 of 14 November 2013 entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Rillettes de Tours (PGI)), Division: Climatic factors

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

Touraine is characterised by a mild but relatively wet climate which has impeded the natural development of dried pork products as found in the south of France. It is because of the local climate that rillettes are preserved by cooking. This climate is, however, favourable for wine-growing and the large quantity of wines produced in the area has also influenced the way in which ‘Rillettes de Tours’ are flavoured.
