'Brabantse Wal asperges’ from The Netherlands is a Protected Designation of Origin


The Commission has approved the addition of a new product to the register of Protected Designations of Origin (PDOs).

Cultivated in the Netherlands, 'Brabantse Wal asperges’ is a white asparagus with a slightly salted and non-bitter taste. It is grown in the southwest of North Brabant Province, called the 'Brabantse Wal'.

This area is the Netherlands' oldest growing area and up to the 1950s Bergen op Zoom was the Netherlands' largest asparagus-growing area.

The 'Brabantse Wal asperges' are grown sustainably using fewer chemical plant-protection products than is customary. This denomination will be added to the list of over 1,320 products already protected.
