'''[[Template:Beskyttet Geografisk Betegnelse|BGB]] Lammefjordsgulerod''' is very smooth and crisp [[carrot]] with a very low
tendency to grey discoloration after washing. It has a relatively high dry matter content
and a very high carotene content. The [[sugar]] content is relatively high.

'''Geographical area''': The Lammefjordsgulerod comes from the reclaimed area of the
Lammefjord, which is physically delimited by the Ringkanal and the Audebo dam.
Lammefjord is situated in Odsherred on Zealand, Denmark. The fact that it is grown on the reclaimed seabed of the Lammefjord, which has a layer
of silt, is a special condition for the production of the [[carrot]]. The [[carrot]] is grown in accordance with the rules for the integrated production of field vegetables which are monitored by the Plantedirektoratet (Crops Directorate).

'''Proof of origin''': The Lammefjordsgulerod must be washed and packed by approved washing
enterprises on Lammefjord, which is where documentary evidence of origin is kept. One
of the conditions imposed on an approved washing enterprise is that records are kept of
receipt of [[carrots]] from the growing location and there is a clear physical separation of
the Lammefjordsgulerod from any other [[carrots]]. The Plantedirektorat's IP check is a further
check of these conditions.

'''Method of production''': The [[carrot]] is grown in accordance with the rules for
the integrated production of field [[vegetables]], the objective of which
is to guarantee both yield and quality. In plant protection, for example, cultivation
measures and biological control measures are preferred to chemicals where possible.

'''Link''': The reclamation of the Lammefjord commenced in 1873. It created exceptionally
good agricultural land, given that the former bed of the fjord was mainly silt and
therefore rich in nutrients. The nutrients were created by dead plants and animals falling
to the seabed over the millennia and becoming silt (in some places over 20 metres deep).
The silt contained sand and also clay particles. Large areas of Lammefjord are more or
less free of stones and the large numbers of old mussel and oyster shells give a naturally
high calcium content.

The former shore zones have sandy soil; the sand has been polished and is smoother
and rounder than in classic sandy soils. All the above conditions are of significance for
the cultivation of the [[carrot]]. The [[carrots]] have been cultivated for over 50 years and have won many prizes
over the years. Processing after picking, i.e. washing and packing, is done exclusively by approved
washing enterprises located in Lammefjord.
