Opto per aquesta perquè en un altre punt del text que he de traduir apareix 'denominació d'origen avellana de Reus' i utilitzaré el terme 'Protected Designation of Quality'

Per cert, quan parleu d'una comarca concreta utilitzeu county o region?

Regional Quality Denomination


Explanation:
First: regional is more ample than 'local', and a comarca in Catalonia is an area, not just a town or village
Second : Denomination, although in nglish most frequently used in religious context, is the right term when speaking about the characteristics and personality of wines and other types of food that are typical for a region.

County(-Level) Quality Designation / Local Quality Designation

denominació de qualitat > quality designation

"Comarca" > See: http://www.comarca.eu/

Often translated as "county".

Thaerefore: quality designation

In Catalonia and Aragon, the comarca exists as a local government area, and has a representative comarcal council.

I think in this case I'd probably use "Local Quality Designation" but if you feel you need to be more specific about the "comarca" bit, you may prefer the other option.

I think that "comarca", as used in Catalonia, refers to an area smaller than a "region".

Baix Camp, the comarca where Prades l¡is located, occupies an area of 697.07 km² -- hardly large enough to justify the use of the word region in English.
