Rucava white butter is made by hand, using a very specific
churning method which makes this butter particularly viscous and aromatic.
Rucava white butter has been made at home since the early
20th century. The recipes are handed down from generation to generation, and
today almost every household in the Rucava area still makes Rucava white
butter, the ministry said.
Several other Latvian products, for example, the traditional
Janu cheese and Carnikava lamprey have already been included in the EU
registers of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), PGI (Protected Geographical
Indication) and TSG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed).
