dc.abstract.enThis paper presents the history of cheese produced in the Silesian region (Poland). The purpose of the research was to collect documentation on cheese, for which the name “śląski” cheese (“Silesian” cheese) is adopted in this paper. The research method was a query, and the research materials were archival documents collected in Polish libraries and archives. Conducting a comprehensive search made it possible to collect relevant information on “śląski” cheese. The authors also carried out a survey to obtain data on consumer behaviour in the regional food market. Based on the research, there is a strong rationale for taking steps to safeguard the name “śląski” cheese by acquiring a Protected Designation of Origin or Protected Geographical Indication status. As a significant cheese producer in the European Union, Poland should promote cheeses associated with a specific region. “Śląski” cheese has the potential to become a symbol of the Silesia region in the southwestern part of Poland. This research is an example of documentation gathering and could be helpful to all those who are trying to obtain geographical indications for regional products.
