Patata di Bologna
Food · PDO · 55 municipalities
Patata di Bologna DOP represents a highly specialized agricultural origin within Emilia-Romagna, legally recognized and protected under European law since 2004. What distinguishes this potato denomination from neighboring agricultural varieties is its strict geographic confinement, restricted exclusively to 55 specific municipalities, including Baricella and Bentivoglio. Today, 93 verified producers cultivate these potatoes under the strict oversight of the Consorzio di Tutela Patata di Bologna D.O.P. This precise regional localization and its highly restricted producer network differentiate the crop from other standard tubers, ensuring that all certified harvests originate solely from the soil of this designated northern Italian territory.
