According to a Kantar Worldpanel survey, the Label Rouge remains the most popular label of its kind in France, with 96% of respondents saying they are familiar with it. Strawberries, kiwis, clementine and garlic are already covered by the label. In 2024, 600 tons of asparagus will bear the Label Rouge, a total expected to eventually reach 2,000 tons, i.e. 65% of all French asparagus covered by a Protected Geographical Identi\u001f cation (PGI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two select varieties, Vitalim and Grolim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Label Rouge asparagus encompasses two select varieties, Vitalim and Grolim, following three years of agronomic trials and sensory analysis to verify their ability to deliver the following product characteristics: straightness and colour of the asparagus, Extra category potential, closed-tip asparagus potential, etc. Label Rouge asparagus must be white, Extra category (with a diameter of<br>16-42 mm), and sold fresh in packaging, synonymous with freshness. The Label Rouge guarantees the characteristic taste and aroma of asparagus as well as spears that melt in the mouth and are not very \u001f brous and with tips that are neither too bitter nor too sweet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of March 1, 2024 quality asparagus can be recognised by a Label Rouge in France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36560,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news_categories":[103],"class_list":["post-36786","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_categories-market"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A &quot;Label Rouge&quot;
