Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale

Food · PDO · 97 municipalities

Recognised by the European Union in 1999, the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP stands out among food-domain designations because it specifically protects an extracted essential oil rather than an edible crop. Its defined geographical origin spans 97 municipalities in Calabria, starting alphabetically with Africo and Agnana Calabra. Although the Consorzio di Tutela del Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria oversees the denomination, official registries currently list zero verified producers actively operating under the PDO. This technical paradox highlights a highly localized agricultural niche that remains formally preserved on the Italian food map while awaiting active commercial certification.
