More applications for GI protection
Two more applications for the protection of geographical indications have been filed with the European Commisssion.
The first application is for BREZNICKÝ LEÁK, a Czech beer. This application derogates from Article 5(1) of Regulation 510/2006 because there is only one producer in the designated area. While the applicant is the only producer in that area, as a result of using the local water with its characteristic properties, Breznický leák differs from beers brewed in neighbouring areas. As for the beer itself, Breznický leák
"... is a moderately to medium fermented beer characterised by a delicate but distinctively bitter taste, a full body, a rich golden colour of 8-12,5 EBC, a high level of crispness with a clean hoppy aroma and no extraneous flavours, a pH of 4,41-4,74, a clarity of 0,30-0,52 EBC, an alcohol content of 4,69-5,53 and an original wort extract of 11,00-12,99 %".The second application is for the Hungarian horseradish HAJDÚSÁGI TORMA, for which protected designation of origin status is sought. According to the application,

Records of its production go back to the 17th century; it may have arrived in the Hajdúság region in the early 19th century. Horseradish production started to grow particularly in the late 1800s and the early 1900s in this region. Prior to the turn of the century, in the Hajdúság region almost everybody's garden had some amount of horseradish as a perennial plant. After the turn of the century, in the early 1920s the vineyard manager of Bagamér in the Várad chapter, Gábor Szilágyi ordered some ‘tasty, noble’ horseradish from Austria, acclimatised it, and propagated it within years through careful selection. The villages of the region also picked up production, as a result of which the present horseradish-producing region evolved by the 1940s and '50s".
