Campo Real secures national protection for its olives
The resolution allows products that meet the requirements to be marketed and advertised in Spain under the name 'Aceitunas de Campo Real'. Its effects are set from 23 June 2026; the text reserves the European symbol for registered designations.
The approved protection allows the name to be used in the Spanish market, although it does not grant the graphic symbol of European IGPs. The resolution from the Dirección General de Agricultura was published in the Boletín Oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid (BOCM).
Products that comply with the specifications can be marketed and advertised throughout the country as 'Aceitunas de Campo Real'. The permission also does not authorise the use of indications or abbreviations reserved for names already registered in the community register.
The measure is retroactive from 23 June 2026, the date on which Spain submitted the application to the Comisión Europea.
The process began on 30 December 2025, when the managing body requested the registration of the name. After the national opposition period, during which there were no admissible objections, the Dirección General issued a favourable decision on 12 May. The resolution established the provisional nature of the protection. Its validity is tied to the decision of the community executive on the registration or to the conclusion of the procedure.
