5.   Link with the geographical area

Above all, ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ derives its specificity from the product's qualities and reputation.

The specific characteristics of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ are as follows:

The high quality and specific characteristics of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ are dependent on the characteristics of the soil and climate in the area in which it is cultivated and on the expertise of local producers. These factors combine, resulting in garlic with specific physical, chemical and organoleptic properties that distinguish it from other products. ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is characterised by a high alliin content, purple-pink or purple skin and large bulbs with a small number of cloves, due to which the size of an individual clove is also larger than that of other kinds of garlic.

The geographical area in which ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is cultivated is situated in Galicia, a part of Poland that was under Austro-Hungarian rule between 1774 and 1918. The name ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ derives from this historical name.

The soil in the geographical area in which ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is cultivated is rich in organic matter (humus). It is a rendzina area with a high pH value, resulting from the disintegration of limestone which covers only one per cent of Poland and creates a specific microclimate soil in which to cultivate garlic. The area is characterised by soil with a very high pH value of around pH 6,7-7,9. The growing season in the area defined in (4) begins significantly earlier than in neighbouring areas.

The skin covering the bulbs of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ owes its colour entirely to the soil reaction. This is because in neutral soil, the anthocyanin present in the bulbs produces a purple-pink colour, while alkaline produces purple.

Moreover, the growing period in the geographical area referred to in (4) begins exceptionally early, enabling the optimal use of water stored in the soil after rain and snowfall in the winter. This is extremely important in the first growth phase, and particularly beneficial to onion species such as garlic. As a result, bulbs of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ are large in size.

The expertise of local producers also has a major impact on the quality of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’, as demonstrated at each stage of production. Their expertise includes knowing when the best time for planting is, so that the plants can develop well before the frost comes. After pre-selection, producers select approved material (bulbs). Selecting seed bulbs of a suitable size by splitting bulbs into individual cloves immediately before planting guarantees a high yield of good quality.

If the soil is too dry, producers decide whether to irrigate it, because soil humidity in late spring is favourable to the growth of large garlic bulbs with a high content of alliin — an organic compound containing sulphur — which is responsible for the intense aroma of garlic and its distinctive, pungent taste. On average, the alliin content is five per cent higher than garlic of the same varieties grown elsewhere in Poland.

For the cultivation of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ involving winter hardneck varieties, topping is required. The process involves removing the scapes from the bulbs after they have looped. The time chosen for doing this is very important, because removing the scapes too early leads to regrowth, while leaving them on the plant significantly reduces the yield and quality of the bulbs. Traditionally this procedure is done by hand, making it very labour-intensive. This is the only way of ensuring that each garlic plant is processed in a manner appropriate for its stage of growth. The precision of these procedures is rooted in the tradition of this area, and its effect on product quality is not inconsiderable.

After harvesting and drying, ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is cleaned thoroughly by hand, thereby removing dirty skin and remains of roots and leaves. Treating the garlic in this way ensures it keeps well and retains excellent flavour and dietary properties. Drying at the right temperature and air circulation affects the stability of the main active substance of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’, namely alliins.

As a result of the suitability of the soil and climate conditions for the cultivation of garlic, coupled with the considerable expertise of local producers, the geographical area defined in (4) contains the largest cultivation area of this plant in Poland.

Reputation of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’

References to the cultivation of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ in the geographical area date back to the seventeenth century. In his work ‘Zielnik herbarzem z języka łacińskiego zowią...’[‘Herbarium with the Latin names...’] published in 1613, Szymon Syreński, also known as Syreniusz, a professor at the Krakow Academy, a botanist, doctor and scientist who examined the medicinal properties of plants, described 756 species of plants found in Southern Poland. In this book, the author mentions garlic more than one hundred times as a plant readily available in the vicinity of Krakow (i.e. ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ or Galician garlic), and extremely valuable for medical purposes.

The relationship between ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ and the area of its production and its reputation are also confirmed by a legend which had it that people came to local fairs and markets for a lump of salt and a clove of garlic.

It is highly likely that the garlic had a significant reputation, because Jan Chryzostom Pasek, a Polish diarist in the Baroque period, jokingly wrote in his memoirs that it was because of the garlic, which tasted better than the Hungarian variety, that the Transylvanian prince George Rákóczi invaded Poland in 1657. That said, according to Pasek, Rákóczi's army ate all the garlic which it stole.

Meanwhile, Zbigniew Morstin, a Baroque literary figure who was also present when the Swedes besieged Krakow (a city in the Małopolskie Province, which is where the ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ growing areas are) in 1655, wrote verse in which he extolled the virtues of garlic, according it pride of place among herbs and remedies together with onions and radishes.

The reputation of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ in the geographical area defined in (4) is further consolidated by the fact that Małopolskie Province has organised a Garlic Festival there in July/August since 2007. This confirms that it is highly esteemed by local farmers and has immense potential. The Garlic Festival features dishes and products in which ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is the star ingredient and competitions are organised for the most attractive decoration made from ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ and the heaviest garlic plait. All this takes place with the involvement of the provincial authorities, farmers' and producers' associations and the Polish equivalent of the Women's Institute. Local restaurants also offer dishes prepared using ‘Czosnek galicyjski’.

The significance of the production of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ in the geographical area in which it is grown is emphasised by local media, which refers to the tradition of cultivation and the awareness of producers, and by measures taken to increase the product's availability and foster the tradition of cultivating ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ in the area. Information on ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ has been broadcast on regional television and articles on it of interest to the local community have been published in the local press, concerning in particular the acquisition of new sales outlets, the activities of the association of producers of ‘Czosnek galicyjski’, and reports on the Małopolskie Province Garlic Festival. Information and promotional material on ‘Czosnek galicyjski’ have also been published, as have flyers. A special logo has also been produced exclusively for ‘Czosnek galicyjski’. It appears on promotional material and in places selling ‘Czosnek galicyjski’, including menus at restaurants using the product.

‘Czosnek galicyjski’ is very important to the inhabitants of the geographical area defined in (4), as shown primarily by the large quantities of the vegetable produced and supplied.

3.   Description of the spirit drink, including the product’s physical, chemical and/or organoleptic characteristics

‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ is a clear, pale-yellow spirit with greenish hues that contains no sediment. Water is added to the drink when it is consumed, giving it an ivory-like opalescent shade and a cloudiness that renders it opaque.

It is characterised by aromas reminiscent of common wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.). These aromas are dominant compared to those of the other plants used to make ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’.

If the product is aged in wood for several months, its colour becomes slightly darker and golden, the taste of anise gives way to that of absinthe and the product mellows.

When placed on the market for the consumer, the spirit contains at least 20 milligrams of thujone per litre of spirits. Its alcoholic strength by volume is equal to or higher than 45 %.

4.   Definition of the geographical area concerned

6.   Details bearing out the link with the geographical environment or the geographical origin

6.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

6.1.1.   Natural factors

This region has homogenous morphological, climatic and soil characteristics: it is a plateau with light and superficial soils not more than 30-40 centimetres deep. The highly alkaline soil with a silky-clay texture and a great number of calcareous stones has a low water reserve.

The altitude of around 750-900 metres means that temperatures are relatively mild in the summer, with annual temperatures averaging 7– 8 °C. Rainfall ranges from 1 400 to 1 600 millimetres a year and is slightly accentuated by the hilly landscape nearby.

The land of the Pontarlier region is ideally suited to the cultivation of the wormwood plant.

6.1.2.   Human factors: know-how two centuries old

In the 18th century a number of texts in the Pontarlier region made mention of a liqueur called ‘élixir d’Absinthe’, in particular because of its medicinal properties.

Major Dubied transferred his production from Val-de-Travers, on the other side of the Swiss border, to Pontarlier on 14 February 1805. From that date onwards the number of distilleries kept on increasing in Pontarlier and surrounding areas, hand in hand with the growing consumption of absinthe. At the beginning of the 20th century there were 25 distilleries in the region. In 1907, the absinthe industry employed a total of over 3 000 persons in the arrondissement. Daily production reached 66 000 litres in 1914. Accounting for nearly one third of France’s production, Pontarlier was the capital of absinthe.

In the first half of the 19th century, ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ started being exported throughout the world (Africa, America, China, etc.). Artists in the Paris of the day were swept away by the general enthusiasm for absinthe.

In the wake of the spirit’s success, a great number of counterfeit products appeared, glutting the market. They were non-distilled absinthes of mediocre quality that were mass-produced by macerating plants in non-rectified alcohol or by using essences. Such beverages contained a number of harmful constituents, both from the alcohol and the heavy oils contained in the essences. In order to preserve the image of absinthe, which was threatened by those products, and make full use of the reputation of absinthe made in Pontarlier, the region’s 25 liqueur producers worked to highlight the origin of their absinthes by including the word ‘Pontarlier’ systematically on each label starting in 1905.

In 1908, public prosecutor Edmond Couleur wrote a report at Parliament’s request entitled: ‘Au pays de l’absinthe.’ (Editions Société Anonyme d’imprimerie Montbéliardaise). In that document he explains the origins of absinthe production and shows the unique, solid historical link of that beverage to Pontarlier.

The countless labels of trademarks combining ‘Absinthe’ and ‘Pontarlier’, found notably in the numerous works written by Marie-Claude Delahaye (‘L’absinthe’, ‘L’absinthe, art et histoire’, ‘Promenades autour de l’Absinthe’, etc.) (Musée de l’Absinthe, 95430 Auvers-sur-Oise), attest to the ancient reputation of ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’.

Up until the 19th century, distilleries throughout France use the wormwood plants of Haut-Doubs.

The know-how and methods were kept alive during the prohibition of ‘absinthe’ thanks to aniseed-flavoured drinks, where the same procedures and materials were used as for the production of ‘absinthe’ before 1915.

Unlike pastis, which is a mixture of alcohol and of anise and liquorice extracts, the aniseed-flavoured drink made by Pontarlier since 1921 was a distilled anis (made by redistilling neutral alcohol together with anise) produced from anise. During that period, at least three anis brands distilled in Pontarlier referred to their origin, ‘Pontarlier’, on their labels. That aniseed-flavoured drink, generally known as ‘Pont’, was made in Pontarlier on the same premises and with the same materials and methods as ‘absinthe’ produced before 1915. Only the ‘recipe’ had to be changed by removing the wormwood and any plants producing a green colour, because in 1921 legislation forbade aniseed-flavoured drinks from containing wormwood or being green. That distilled anis is still produced in Pontarlier today.

Since 1988, when absinthe-based spirit drinks were authorised once again, the production of wormwood and the preparation of this spirit drink have been revived in the Pontarlier region in accordance with traditions that have been maintained without interruption.

Every year since 2002, during a major cultural event in Pontarlier called ‘Absinthiades’ dedicated to absinthe, a competition is organised for international absinthes (English, Swiss, Czech, German, etc.) marketed in France. Between 2002 and 2014, ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ spirits obtained 13 gold medals, 6 silver medals and 6 bronze medals.

Since 2012, absinthe has competed in a specific category during the Concours Général Agricole de Paris. Between 2012 and 2015, ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ spirits obtained 5 gold medals, 1 silver medal and 1 bronze medal at that fair.

In 2009 the ‘Route de l’absinthe’, which connects Pontarlier in France to Val-de-Travers in Switzerland, was inaugurated in the historical birthplace of ‘absinthe’.

6.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ is a clear, pale-yellow spirit with greenish hues that contains no sediment. Water is added to the drink when it is consumed, giving it an ivory-like opalescent shade and a cloudiness that renders it opaque.

‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ is characterised by aromas reminiscent of the perfumes released by the common wormwood plant when harvested. In order to preserve these aromas, ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ must contain at least 20 milligrams of thujone per litre.

If the product is aged in wood for several months, its colour becomes slightly darker and golden, the taste of anise gives way to that of absinthe and the product mellows.

‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ is traditionally served with dissolved sugar, which eliminates any minor astringency from the distillation of anise.

6.3.1.   Common wormwood

The perfume of common wormwood is more delicate and concentrated in regions where the climate and soil are less favourable to its growth.

Haut-Doubs has always been renowned for the cultivation of aromatic plants. The effects of continentality and of the topography, just pronounced enough to bring out the perfumes while being just restrained enough to allow optimum growth of the plant, manifest themselves in a uniquely balanced way. For absinthe, in particular, Haut-Doubs amazingly combines the three principal factors behind both the growth and the gustatory quality of the plant: altitude, continentality and a shallow soil. As the plant has been used in the region since time immemorial, this leads one to believe it is indigenous.

There is also a climatic feature of importance to the cultivation practices: the unusual decline in rainfall in July corresponds exactly to the harvesting period for wormwood, when the weather must be dry.

Wormwood plants cultivated and dried in the defined area according to the methods described above have a concentration of essential oils that give the spirit a perfume unparalleled in intensity and freshness.

6.3.3.   Reduction and bottling

The aromatic balance of ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ is complex and fragile at the same time. Obtaining it depends on the initial composition of the plants used and on the proportions of the different essential oils, in particular thujone, the minimum content of which has been defined in line with the characteristics of the product. The concentration of the different volatile compounds contributing to the aromatic balance of ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ varies greatly and depends mostly on the plants used and also on the traditional methods of distillation. The concentration levels vary according to the genetics of the plant, its development stage and nutrition, the climate and the nature of the soil. Depending on the distillation methods used, it is also possible to modify the extraction rate of these elements.

Consequently, in order to release for consumption a product sufficiently rich in compounds crucial to the characteristics of the geographical indication ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’, the liqueur makers use the alcoholic strength by volume at marketing as an adjustment variable and adjust the water input at the time of reduction. Therefore, it is essential that the reduction, which comes right before bottling, be carried out by the liqueur maker.

Generally speaking, the volatile compounds in essential oils are very sensitive to stresses from the external environment, are often at play in chemical reactions and therefore show great instability:

Since the solubility of oxygen in the essential oil increases as the temperature decreases, there is a risk that the essential oils will oxidise even at a low temperature when emptying vats, pumping and bottling and produce mainly peroxide radicals and hydroperoxides, which jeopardise the quality of the essential oils.

When it is cold, small flakes of material may form and rise to the surface. Therefore if bottling takes place without warming and homogenising the absinthe, the flakes will be filtered before bottling, which in turn will affect considerably the organoleptic characteristics of the beverage. Conversely, if crystallisation occurs in the bottle after being exposed to the cold, this will have no effect, because when the product warms up it will reacquire its original characteristics without any deterioration to them.

Essential oils are also sensitive to reactions with certain plastic materials or certain metals, which may not be used during storage, handling or packaging.

In other words, the essential oils present in ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’ are extremely unstable. Various reactions may change their properties substantially and consequently alter the organoleptic characteristics of this geographical indication. As a result, preserving them until and during bottling necessitates special precautions to minimise the presence of air, keep the spirit away from light and oxygen and reduce any incompatibility with certain plastic materials.

Reinforced checks in the form of analytical and organoleptic testing of the packaged products make it possible to detect any deterioration of the quality of the essential oils that affects the product’s organoleptic or physico-chemical characteristics. If necessary, these checks may lead to a ban on the marketing of the defective product under the geographical indication ‘Absinthe de Pontarlier’.
