From France’s world-famous cheeses to Spanish jamón — the Continent’s most lucrative food exports are under strain.
An intense drought, which scientists say may be the worst in 500 years, has damaged all sorts of harvests in Europe, including cereals, vegetables, honey and wine. But it has also endangered the production of Europe's regional specialties, which are protected under an EU seal that certifies their quality and traditional character — and jacks up their prices.
Harsher and more frequent weather events are upending production cycles, making it harder for makers of these gourmet foods to stick to the strict, traditional recipes and procedures they are required to maintain.
