ANNEX II CONSOLIDATED SINGLE DOCUMENT Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs ( *1 ) ‘LAMMEFJORDSGULEROD’ EC No: DK-PGI-0205-01118 — 04.06.2013 PGI (X) PDO ( ) 1. Name ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ 2. Member State or Third Country Denmark 3. Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff 3.1. Type of product Class 1.6. Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed 3.2. Description of the product to which the name in 1 applies The ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ carrot is very smooth and crisp and has very little tendency to turn grey after washing. Its dry matter is relatively high, like its sugar content. Its carotene content is also very high. ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ carrots must fulfil the ‘Class I’ requirements laid down in the UNECE standard for carrots (FFV-10). ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ carrots must be grown in accordance with the GlobalG.A.P. (Global Partnership for Good Agricultural Practices) standard which sets the framework for Good Agricultural Practice. 3.3. Raw materials (for processed products only) — 3.4. Feed (for products of animal origin only) — 3.5. Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area The entire production process takes place in the defined area. 3.6. Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc. The carrots are washed and packed only at washing enterprises on Lammefjord. 3.7. Specific rules concerning labelling (a) Name and address of packing centre (b) ‘Lammefjordens Grøntsagslaug’ (‘Lammefjord Vegetable Association’) logo (c) Class 4. Concise definition of the geographical area The Lammefjord region is made up of four reclaimed fjord areas in Odsherred on Zealand (Denmark): — the reclaimed portion of the Lammefjord, which is physically delimited by the Ringkanal and the Audebo dam, — Svinninge Vejle, which is bounded to the south, west and north by the Ringkanal and to the east by the Svinninge-Hørve railway line, — Sidinge Fjord, which is delimited by Sidinge dam and a surface water channel, — Klintsø, which is delimited by drainage channels. 5. Link with the geographical area 5.1. Specificity of the geographical area The product is grown on the reclaimed seabed of the Lammefjord with its layer of silt. Sidinge Fjord was the first area to be drained in the Lammefjord region (starting in 1841), followed by Svinninge Vejle. The reclaiming of the largest area, the Lammefjord, started in 1873. Klintsø was the last area to be drained. The subsoil consists of clay and marl or silty sand topped by a layer of silt several metres thick formed from vegetable and animal substances. Large areas of Lammefjord are more or less free of stones and the large numbers of old mussel and oyster shells give the soil a naturally high calcium content. With its mild winters, cool summers and rainfall that is evenly distributed throughout the year, Lammefjord has an ideal carrot-growing climate. 5.2. Specificity of the product Carrots from the Lammefjord region have a very smooth surface and retain their colour after washing and during storage. They retain their colour as the sand in the soil 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 harvested. Carrots from the Lammefjord region can therefore be refrigerated and handled at all times of the year without causing surface discoloration. 5.3. Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI) The specific quality of ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ carrots is related to the growing conditions provided by the former bed of the fjord. The special soil conditions allow gentle handling of the carrots, which have a smooth surface as a result. The name ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ is known throughout Denmark. ‘Lammefjordsgulerod’ carrots are one of the reasons why the general public associates Lammefjord with high-quality vegetables, and carrots in particular. ‘Den store danske Encyklopædi’ describes Lammefjord as follows: ‘The drained fjord bed is highly fertile, producing cereals, seeds and vegetables. Lammefjord is known for its carrots and potatoes. Until 1980 it also had a reputation for flower bulbs and asparagus’. Lammefjord is often mentioned in reports in Danish and foreign media of the success enjoyed in those years by Danish restaurants with their menus based on Nordic ingredients.
