Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria
Food · PGI · 23 municipalities
The Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP is defined by its strict geographical confinement to exactly 23 municipalities in Calabria, including Amantea and Belmonte Calabro. While generic red onions are cultivated widely, this specific denomination has been legally protected by the European Union since 2004, limiting official production to just 58 verified producers. Managed by the Consorzio di Tutela della Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, this rigorous standard ensures that only bulbs grown within these precise geographic boundaries can carry the name, legally separating this Calabrian origin from all neighboring, non-certified onion crops.
