(protected) designation of origin
EU agricultural product quality policy
Geographical indications and traditional specialities
Three EU schemes known as PDO (protected designation of origin), PGI (protected geographical indication) and TSG (traditional speciality guaranteed) promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs.
The following EU schemes encourage diverse agricultural production, protect product names from misuse and imitation and help consumers by giving them information concerning the specific character of the products:
* PDO - covers agricultural products and foodstuffs which are produced, processed and prepared in a given geographical area using recognised know-how.
* PGI – covers agricultural products and foodstuffs closely linked to the geographical area. At least one of the stages of production, processing or preparation takes place in the area.
* TSG - highlights traditional character, either in the composition or means of production

designation of origin / appellation of origin
If you check IATE, it is officially "designation of origin" or "appellation of origin". You could word it as "Their olive oil has/boasts its own designation of origin."

Discussion
I recently had to translate this, and the end client (an EU agency) advised me that this is how it needed to be translated:
'Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status' initially, and 'PDO status' thereafter. Of course, that was relevant to my text...
