"Ramellet" tomatoes, grown traditionally in Mallorca, have been included as a conservation variety in the National Register of Commercial Varieties to prevent the appropriation of their name by other hybrid vegetables.
The entity sees this as a reason for celebration after two firms had tried in previous years to obtain the Protected Geographical Indication quality label for a type of hybrid cherry tomato which was not the traditional one from Mallorca.
"Ramellet" tomatoes are a traditional variety mainly characterised by staying fresh for up to nine months after being harvested, explained the association.
