A new theme dedicated to Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) is initiated, which disseminates those products that have that nomination. The broadcast will continue in the coming years and, on this occasion, is dedicated to Galicia and the"Pemento de Herbón" and the "Mexillón de Galicia / Mejillón de Galicia" . Both products are reproduced in the block sheet and in the two seals that form it.
"Some stings and others do not", say of the well-known Pimientos de Padrón . It all depends on the amount of capsaicin they contain, which is the component that provides the most spicy. This small green fruit was recognized with the Protected Designation of Origin on July 1, 2009 as Pemento de Herbón . Its production is limited to an area of the Atlantic slope that includes a set of valleys of low altitude, delimited by the Ulla and Sar rivers, and protected by several mountain ranges that isolate the area and provide the suitable climate for the crop. This variety of pepper was introduced by the Franciscan monks of the convent of San Antonio de Herbón, of Padrón City Council, in the 17th century, who brought the seeds from the Mexican state of Tabasco and started their cultivation.
The Galician Mussel / Galician Mussel , rich in minerals (iron, phosphate and zinc) and in vitamins, is a mollusk of appreciated gastronomic flavor that admits multiple recipes. The Galician Mussel Regulatory Council began its activities in 1994 with the aim of promoting the quality of this product so well known today. Due to its geographical location, the Galician estuaries constitute a special environment for mussel farming, since they concentrate an important source of nutrients caused by the confluence of ocean and river currents. The culture of the mollusk is done in rafts and, practically, most of the producers and of the companies that commercialize the mussel, both fresh and processed, are attached to the Denomination of Origin.
In 1945 the first punt was anchored in the Ría de Arousa. A few years later it became a cultivation of great development in the world of aquaculture, being one of the most important economic resources for the people of the area.
