The Commission has approved the addition of ‘Vänerlöjrom' from Sweden in the register of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). ‘Vänerlöjrom' is made from vendace roe, a freshwater fish caught in Lake Vänern, in south-western Sweden, and salt. It is characterised by whole eggs that give a distinct ‘pop' if pressed to the roof of the mouth when tasting. It has a mild flavor and a clean fish taste of salmon. ‘Vänerlöjrom' obtains its specific properties from the minerals and nutrients in the waters of Lake Vänern. It also has a strong local connection. Every year various events linked to Lake Vänern and roe fishing, including Vendace Roe Day, attract large numbers of visitors. The new denomination will be added to the list of 1,565 products already protected in the eAmbrosia database. More information online on quality products.
