# Commission Regulation (EU) No 353/2010 of 23 April 2010 approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Mirabelles de Lorraine (PGI)], Division 5.2: Specificity of the product

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

‘Mirabelles de Lorraine’ are the product of two local varieties, ‘Mirabelles de Nancy’ and ‘Mirabelles de Metz’.
The specificity of ‘Mirabelles de Lorraine’’ is linked to the method of training: for the best possible development of the fruit, the planting density in the orchards may not exceed 400 trees per hectare, the fruit is picked at the best stage of ripeness and within a short period (around six weeks from the beginning of August to mid-September). The aim is to produce a yellow, sweet fruit unlike the green, sour mirabelles found in other regions.
