The Vinalopo table grape federation(CRDOP) has a slogan of ‘Proud of our role’ which signifies the importance of the Aledo brand and the recognition it gets at the European Union level.
The CRDOP is keen that customers identify and ask for Aledo grapes with official labelling since ‘only then will they eat a product that’s truly protected with all the of quality and environmental guarantees’.
Students pick the fruit often during their summer holiday.
CRDOP stated that “it would be absurd” to maintain the tradition of grapes being eaten on New Year’s Eve in order to mimic products from other countries.
The Aledo crops generate 13,000 jobs in the region but growers have suffered from the drought in recent years and higher production costs- leading to higher prices for customers.
