Limone di Siracusa
Food · PGI · 10 municipalities
Unlike broader citrus designations across Sicily, the Limone di Siracusa IGP is restricted to a precise production zone of exactly ten municipalities, including Augusta, Avola, and Floridia. This geographical boundary, officially recognized since 2005, ensures that only fruit harvested within these specific communal borders receives the PGI designation. The Consorzio Tutela del Limone di Siracusa IGP coordinates the activities of the 122 verified producers authorized to cultivate this crop. This strict limitation to ten defined administrative areas differentiates the denomination from neighbouring regional citrus crops, anchoring its commercial identity to a verified group of local growers.
