Marzipan among the latest European GIs
 The latest batch of protected geographical indications has been announced online in the Official Journal of the European Union, following the entry into force of Commission Regulation (723/2008 of 25 July 2008 registering certain names in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Afuega'l Pitu (PDO), Mazapán de Toledo (PGI), Agneau de Lozčre (PGI), Oignon doux des Cévennes (PDO), Butelo de Vinhais or Bucho de Vinhais or Chouriço de Ossos de Vinhais (PGI), Chouriça Doce de Vinhais (PGI)).
1. Agricultural products intended for human consumption listed in Annex I to the Treaty:
Class 1.1. Fresh meat (and offal)
FRANCE: Agneau de Lozčre (PGI)
Class 1.2. Meat products (cooked, salted, smoked, etc.)
PORTUGAL: Butelo de Vinhais or Bucho de Vinhais or Chouriço de Ossos de Vinhais (PGI),

2. Foodstuffs listed in Annex I to the Regulation:

The last item in this list appears to be a form of marzipan. Spanish marzipan has its own dedicated website here. Wikipedia suggests that marzipan may have in fact originated from Toledo.
