Protected Designation of Origin

Exclusive to the Island of Jersey for over 140 years, Jersey Royals have boasted PDO (Protected Designated Origin) status for many years and are renowned for their unique taste and quality credentials. In 2021, with Brexit changing laws, Jersey Royals will now carry two designations ‘Designated Origin UK Protected’ and ‘Geographical Indication UK Protected’.

As Jersey Royals will remain a lawfully protected produce exclusive of the island, this new DOUKP and GIUKP label guarantees the product’s reputation, authenticity, and origin.

The Jersey Royal brand attracts this level of protection because of the unique way in which it is grown, cultivated and harvested and these designations ensures that only Royals grown in Jersey can be called ‘Jersey Royal’.
