Plátano de Canarias bananas

Plátano de Canarias is a protected geographical indication (PGI) brand for Cavendish bananas grown in the Canary Islands, Spain. Unlike imported bananas, these are grown under specific subtropical climates and volcanic soil conditions, leading to their characteristic sweeter taste and spotted appearance when ripe.

The brand is managed by ASPROCAN (Association of Organizations of Producers of Bananas of the Canaries), which represents the thousands of small-scale farmers across the archipelago. The product is exclusively grown within the Canary Islands to maintain its legal PGI status, ensuring that all bananas bearing this logo are of Spanish origin and adhere to strict quality controls established by both local and European authorities.
