Intense fruity and bitter almond flavour. The colour of these oils will range from golden yellow to deep green. They will also have the following technical characteristics: Peroxide value: Maximum 0,15 K270: Maximum 0,1 % Humidity: Maximum 0,1 %, Impurities: Maximum 0,1 %, read: Oils with this name are of the following types: Type A: Maximum acidity: 0,4°. Intense fruity, slightly bitter almond aroma and flavour. Type B: Maximum acidity: 1°. Pleasant and sweet ripely fruity aroma and flavour. The two types of virgin oil may range in colour from greenish yellow to golden yellow. They will also have the following technical characteristics: Peroxide value: Maximum 15 meg of active oxygen per kg of oil. Absorbency in the ultraviolet K270: Maximum 0,1 % Humidity: Maximum 0,1 % Impurities: Maximum 0,1 %. - In the paragraph "Geographical area": where it reads: "Baena, Luque, Doña Mencía, Nueva Carteya and Zuheros.", add: "Castro del Río". DENMARK Lammefjordsgulerod - Geographical area: for: The Lammefjord carrot comes from the reclaimed area of the Lammefjord, which is physically delimited by the Ringkanal and the Audebo dam. Lammefjord is situated in Odsherred on Zealand, Denmark, read: The Lammefjord carrot comes from the reclaimed area of the Lammefjord, which is physically delimited by the Ringkanal and the Audebo dam. Lammefjord is situated in Odsherred on Zealand, Denmark. Svinninge Vejle is part of the drained Lammefjord at the innermost end of the fjord. The area was drained before Lammefjord, primarily because it was narrow and shallow. Sidinge Fjord is also a reclaimed area of Isefjord, located north of Lammefjord. Klintsø is the northernmost area. This was originally a fjord but the mouth was blocked by natural silting. The area is also surrounded by drainage channels. - Proof of origin: for: Lammefjord carrots must be washed and packed by approved washing enterprises on Lammefjord, which is where documentary evidence of origin is kept. One of the conditions imposed on an approved washing enterprise is that records are kept of receipt of carrots from the growing location and there is a clear physical separation of Lammefjord carrots from any other carrots. The Plantedirektorat's IP check is a further check on these conditions., read: Lammefjord carrots must be washed and packed by approved washing enterprises on Lammefjord, which is where documentary evidence of origin is kept. One of the conditions imposed on an approved washing enterprise is that records are kept of receipt of carrots from the growing location and a clear physical separation of Lammefjord carrots from any other carrots grown on normal sandy soil outside the named areas is guaranteed. The Plantedirektorat's IP check is a further check on these conditions. - Link: for: The reclamation of the Lammefjord commenced in 1873. It created exceptionally good agricultural land, given that the former bed of the fjord was mainly silt and therefore very rich in nutrients. The nutrients were created by dead plants and animals falling to the seabed over the millennia and becoming silt (in some places over 20 metres deep). The silt contained sand and also clay particles. Large areas of Lammefjord are more or less free of stones and the large numbers of old mussel and oyster shells give a naturally high calcium content. The former shore zones have sandy soil; the sand has been polished and is smoother and rounder than in classic sandy soils. All the above conditions are of significance for the cultivation of the Lammefjord carrot., read: The first area to be drained in the Lammefjord region was Sidinge Fjord. Then Svinninge Vejle was drained and the reclamation of the largest area, Lammefjord, commenced in 1873. The last area to be drained was Klintsø. It created exceptionally good agricultural land, given that the former bed of the fjord was mainly silt and therefore very rich in nutrients. The nutrients were created by dead plants and animals falling to the seabed over the millennia and becoming silt (in some places over 20 metres deep). The silt contained sand and also clay particles. Large areas of Lammefjord are more or less free of stones and the large numbers of old mussel and oyster shells give a naturally high calcium content. The former shore zones have sandy soil; the sand has been polished and is smoother and rounder than in classic sandy soils, which means that the carrots do not have cracks in them when they are picked. The dull grey colour which is a characteristic of normal sandy soil carrots is therefore avoided. All the above conditions are of significance for the cultivation of the Lammefjord carrot.
