You could check the source code of the About plug:

• https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-about/blob/master/src/Plug.vala#L75-L100
• https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-about/blob/master/src/Plug.vala#L146-L151

Looks like it's retrieved from the "PRETTY_NAME" variable from the /etc/os-release file.

Does that help you?
