The Commission has approved the addition of ‘Alho da Graciosa' from Portugal in the register of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). ‘Alho da Graciosa' is the garlic grown in the island of Graciosa, in the Azores archipelago. It is presented in the form of dried bulbs, either individually or in braids, each with a diameter of at least 3 cm. ‘Alho da Graciosa' is characterised by its medium low intensity aroma and its intense, very pleasant flavour with little aftertaste, which are due not only to the island's soil and climatic conditions but also to the care taken by the producers over the years. Graciosa has always been known as the Terra do Alho (garlic country) and garlic is pictured on the coat of arms of one of the most iconic parishes on the island, the parish of São Mateus. The new denomination will be added to the list of 1566 products already protected in the eAmbrosia database. More information online on quality schemes.
