    Protected Designation of Origin Status for PBFC Laverbread!

      

    EXCITING NEWS........ WE ARE THE FIRST PUB AND FIRST PRODUCER TO RECEIVE PDO
    (P    rotected Designationof Origin) STATUS FOR OUR LOVELY LAVERBREAD  !

    We have just received confirmation that we can now apply PDO status to the Laverbread we produce down at The Old Point House Pub.

     

     

    OK so what is PDO ?

    Protected Designation of Origin  is a mark of excellence that denotes  a food made in a unique way and within a certain geographical location. This applies to food and drink items within the European Union and Great Britain. Each part of the production, processing and preparation must take part in a certain and specific region and be carried out in a certain and specific way.

    So Why is this great for Laverbread ?

    As we know Laverbread is embedded in the roots of Welsh History and its culture, so it is wonderful news that Welsh Laverbread now has its own PDO status. Products with PDO status give you confidence that the product you are buying/consuming is authentic and has been made in the correct way. This reflects in the quality of the product itself.
    Think Champagne ..... you can only call a drink Champagne if it is from that particular region and produced by a certain method .......
