Sardegna

Recognised since 2003, the Sardegna DOP extra virgin olive oil denomination features an unconventional geographical profile. While neighboring DOPs define clear municipal boundaries, the production zone for Sardegna DOP registers zero municipalities. Instead, the integrity of this European Union PDO relies on exactly 32 verified producers. This small, dedicated group operates under the supervision of the Consorzio di Tutela dell'Olio extravergine di Oliva di Sardegna DOP. These precise limits set the Sardegna denomination apart from other regional olive oils, preserving a tightly controlled origin that has remained protected for over two decades.
