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

☒ has been traditionally used to refer to the specific product
☐ identifies the traditional character or specific character of the product
The name ‘Pastarma govezhda’ is specific in itself because it has a centuries-long history and is known throughout the country. Due to its popularity the name has entered into common use without the geographical region influencing the product's quality or characteristics.
The word ‘pastarma’ in the name ‘Pastarma govezhda’ is of Turkic origin and means salted and pressed dried meat (Entsiklopedichen rechnik na chuzhdite dumi v balgarskia ezik (Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Foreign Words in Bulgarian), MAG 77, Sofia, 1996). That method of processing and preserving meat was brought to the territory of what is now Bulgaria in the 7th century AD by the Proto Bulgarians, who belonged to the Turko-Altaic language family.
