The proposed amendments are: K232 from ≤ 1,7 to ≤ 2,4 Linolenic acid from ≤ 0,6 % to ≤ 0,9 % Campesterol from ≤ 3,3 % to ≤ 3,5 % When the Specifications were being drafted in the early 2000s, the chemical parameters that are now subject to the amendment request were achievable, albeit with some difficulty. Following European recognition and in the light of the data compiled from the analyses systematically carried out on the product to certify its PDO status, the difficulty of meeting these parameters started to become apparent.
