# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2013 of 16 July 2013 approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Oignon doux des Cévennes (PDO)), Division 5.2: Specificity of the product

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

The organoleptic qualities of ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ has earned it a regional as well as a national reputation: the onion is characterised by great sweetness without any bitterness or sharpness, and a juiciness that gives it a very pleasant texture in the mouth, whether raw or cooked.
Furthermore, it is visually recognisable and appreciated owing to its roundish to elongated bulb, its shininess, its pearly white, sometimes coppery, colour and its fine and translucent skins.
Its low dry matter content (less than 10 %) does not prevent it from keeping well until the end of winter.
