'''[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Mâche nantaise''' ([[lamb’s lettuce]] or corn salad) is a small, rapidly-growing plant of
the valerian family, of the genus ''Valerianella'' and the species ''olitoria'', with long, sessile
spoon-shaped leaves springing direct from the root, quite deeply veined, forking in
pairs superposed at right angles to form a fairly tight rosette. [[Lamb’s lettuce]] is not
suitable for marketing straight from the ground, and must undergo a series of
processing operations to transform it into a finished product with the characteristics of
mâche nantaise: in large or small trays, or ready for use.

'''Geographical area''': Department of Loire-Atlantique (except 13 cantons in the north-east
of the department), Department of Vendée: eight cantons (including six bordering on Loire-Atlantique), and Department of Maine-et-Loire: two cantons (both bordering on Loire-Atlantique).

'''Proof of origin''': The proof of the origin of the product is provided by a system of
registration and stock accounting at key stages in the production process: parcel,
sowing, growing, harvesting, washing, storage, packaging. This system enables the
exact origin of the product to be identified (including the parcel), and traces the whole
process up to the finished product.

'''Method of production''': The crop is grown in beds; top dressing of sand; plastic cover;
preliminary approval of the product before harvesting in accordance with a set of
criteria taking account of physical defects of the product; controlled harvesting
conditions (temperature and timing); approval before washing; systematic washing;
suitable storage conditions; approval of finished product; close control of lag between
harvesting and placing in consumer unit.

'''Link''': There are a number of factors justifying the product’s link with its geographical
origin:

—Old-established recognised know-how reflected in specific production and
processing techniques uniformly used throughout the Nantes region

—Growing in beds, which makes year-round sowing and harvesting possible
without damage to the soil

—Traditional use of river sand (from the Loire and its estuary) the smoothness and
size of the grains being particularly favourable to plant growth while guarding
against disease

—Growing under unheated shelters (in particular, small plastic tunnels, developed
from the traditional ‘nantais frame’), contributing to product protection at all
times of year

—Processing tools developed in the region to be perfectly suited to the specific
characteristics of m|che nantaise, to enhance product quality, in particular
through very efficient removal of sand and dirt, and product presentation that
meets the needs of distributors and consumers

—Common quality criteria for approval specific to the region

—Temperate maritime climate perfectly adapted to the production of mâche
throughout the region, enabling optimum specific quality to be obtained all year
round (as measured by the quality criteria developed and applied in the Nantes
region)

—A well-established reputation based on the historical background to market
gardening around Nantes, where the plant was first grown in the early 19th
century; a present-day reputation strengthened by a major collective promotion
campaign over the past 15 years

—Considerable economic importance, with mâche nantaise being the region’s major
plant product in terms of turnover, and having a predominant role in Europe.
