The agriculture in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein is many sided and offers products of the highest quality. Growers from the district Dithmarschen now present tomatoes carrying the hallmark 'Geprüfte Qualität Schleswig-Holstein'
(Proven quality Schleswig-Holstein) issued by Landbouwschap (agricultural group) Schleswig-Holstein for the first time. These tomatoes are amongst the best products from the northernmost federal state in Germany.
The demand for regional tomatoes is large. Buyers are both consumers as foodstuff shops and gastronoms. "More than ever the trend with foodstuff shops is regionality" Frank Schoof of the company Godeland says. This is especially the case when good quality is involved: the blue-green hallmark has been the guarantee for traditional cultivation of regional quality for more than 45 years already. All foodstuffs showing this high qualification are subjected to very strict controls by independent institutes every now and then. The sensoric evaluation, the outward appearance, the smell and especially the taste are to be judged extremely well. All products with the hallmark satisfy with that the highest quality and taste requirements.
