Monte Etna
Olive oil · PDO · 48 municipalities
Recognised since 2002, the Monte Etna DOP distinguishes itself from wider Sicilian olive oils by restricting its entire production zone to just 48 municipalities, starting alphabetically with Aci Bonaccorsi. This precise geographic boundary confines the denomination to the immediate slopes of Monte Etna, separating it from neighbouring oils. Today, 56 verified producers cultivate within this designated territory. Their output is safeguarded by the Consorzio di Tutela dell'olio extra vergine d'oliva DOP Monte Etna, ensuring that every bottle is tied directly to this specific landscape rather than the broader island of Sicily.
