Fenland Celery awarded EU protected status

Fenland Celery, you won't find finer and this year it has been awarded EU Protected Geographical Indications Status which means that a least one of the stages of its' production has to take place in the Fens for it to be called Fenland Celery.

Fenland Celery is a heritage winter celery variety. It is paler in colour than standard celery and has unique 'nutty-sweet' flavour.The unique growing method involves banking the soil up around the celery head as it grows to protect it from the frost and gives the celery its exceptional flavour. This video shows the story behind the celery.
