Antep Baklavası and Gaziantep Baklavası are protected names in the EU register for a defined regional product.
A specific geographical indication
A 2013 EU regulation entered Antep Baklavası and Gaziantep Baklavası in the register of protected geographical indications. The application came from the Gaziantep Chamber of Commerce, and the regulation identifies the province of Gaziantep as the production area.
This is a narrow, useful fact about a named product. It does not assign one origin to all baklava or make the words interchangeable in every setting.
Read the label carefully
A geographical indication links a protected name to a defined place and product specification. A general menu entry that says baklava does not, by itself, tell you whether it is the protected regional product.
