# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1054/2012 of 7 November 2012 approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Taureau de Camargue (PDO)], Division 5.2: Specificity of the product

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

Reference has been made in numerous works to the highly original nature of ‘Taureau de Camargue’, which stems partly from the isolation of the breed owing to the particular features of the Camargue and partly from a rearing method developed by breeders in order to adapt to the constraints of the environment.
These animals are nearly wild, non-domesticated, hardy and resistant. They are suspicious of humans and can therefore be aggressive.
As a result, the meat from these animals has particular characteristics as described in an INRA study (5 December 2007 – conference entitled ‘Rencontres autour des Recherches sur les Ruminants’), the main findings of which show that the muscles of these animals have a deep red colour and the meat is lean.
