Brussels, 27 July 2023
The Commission approved the addition of ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) from the United Kingdom.
‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ is prime lamb that is born, reared and slaughtered on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales. It is the unique vegetation and environment of the salt marshes on the north Gower coastline, where the lambs graze, which gives the meat its distinctive characteristics.
This new denomination will be added to the list of 1,643 agricultural products already protected. The list of all protected geographical indications can be found in the eAmbrosia database. More information is available online at Quality Schemes and on our GIView portal.
