Division 4.8 Labelling:

In addition to the protected designation of origin ‘Πράσινες Ελιές Χαλκιδικής’ (Prasines Elies Chalkidikis) and the relevant marking, the labels must bear the following indications to make it possible to verify the origin of and protect the product:

• code number giving the year of production, the processing unit, the batch and final packing unit if the final packing is done by a different unit,

• the product’s shelf life if it is a finally packaged product,

• logo with the name of the product in Greek or Latin characters, comprising an oval image containing a map of Chalkidiki from an 1829 lithograph of the British Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge as background and an olive branch with green olives in the foreground.

When Prasines Elies Chalkidikis are used for the production of paste, the indication ‘Πάστα από “Πράσινες Ελιές Χαλκιδικής ΠΟΠ” ’ (Paste made from ‘Prasines Elies Chalkidikis PDO’) may be used, provided that the paste is produced using only Prasines Elies Chalkidikis with the addition of up to 7 % extra virgin olive oil only.
