The “Marmo Botticino Classico” Collective Mark guarantees the provenance of the marble, certifies the unique quality of the material and the workmanship, and controls sales of the product.
The Consorzio has adopted a strategic approach to the need to enhance the identity of Botticino Classico by registering a Mark of Origin to represent it. This initiative provides a formal and substantial guarantee that products from the area covered by the denomination are produced according to the most stringent quality controls and pursuant to European regulations.
The collective Mark of origin
"Marmo Botticino Classico" was registered by Consorzio Produttori Marmo Botticino Classico in Italy and throughout the world on 17 May 2005 as a Mark of Origin, intended to guarantee the geographical provenance, composition and quality products from the Botticino Classico marble quarrying area in the Municipality of Botticino near Brescia.
"Botticino Classico Marble" is the first mark of origin to be registered in the stone-working market, with a view to enhancing the identity of Botticino Classico marble.
The Mark has three main goals:
• TO GUARANTEE geographical provenance;
• TO DISTINGUISH Botticino Classico marble from competing materials produced in other areas which wrongly use the name "Botticino";
• TO RE-LAUNCH "Made in Italy" products in the stone-working sector where Italy has a tradition of excellence.
The owner
The Mark is owned by the Consorzio Produttori Marmo Botticino Classico (Consortium of Botticino Classico Marble Producers), which has a mission to promote the image, diffusion and use of Botticino Classico marble by fostering awareness and encouraging its distribution on domestic and international markets.
Who can use it
The Mark can be displayed by producers of Botticino Classico, as well as by all Italian and international transformers and users who, at the request of customers or designers, must guarantee the quality of products bearing the name "Botticino Classico Marble".
Products
The Mark can be affixed to:
blocks, slabs, semi-finished and finished products made exclusively from marble quarried in the Botticino area (Brescia), or in other words by the producers of Botticino Classico marble.
How to use the Mark
Those interested in using the Mark must apply to the Consortium for a licence.
"Mark of Origin Licensees" may use it on their Botticino Classico marble products and in the relative documentation according to precise instructions issued by the Consortium on accepting the application.
