Under the framework of the EUIPO’s European Cooperation Projects, a memorandum of understanding was signed on 7 June 2024, between the Hellenic Industrial Property Organisation (OBI) and the Municipality of Argostoli, in cooperation with the Chamber of Kefalonia and Ithaka. Through this memorandum, the city of Argostoli, Greece, was certified as an official 'Authenticity.'
Argostoli is renowned for its Robola wine, a unique variety known for its distinctive morphology and taste, as well as the Mandoles delicacy, which consists of roasted almonds slowly enrobed in layers of hard-crack caramel.
As a certified 'Authenticity,' a series of IP-related awareness-raising activities are planned to take place locally over the next two years in Argostoli.
