Val di Mazara
Olive oil · PDO · 98 municipalities
Recognized since 2000, the Val di Mazara DOP olive oil is defined by a striking contrast between its vast geographical footprint and an exclusive pool of operators. The official production zone covers 98 municipalities across Sicily, including Alessandria della Rocca and Alia. However, the designation is maintained by just 31 verified producers who meet the strict standards enforced by the Consorzio volontario per la tutela e la valorizzazione dell'olio extravergine di oliva DOP Val di Mazara. This highly concentrated producer base distinguishes the denomination from more expansive regional oils, ensuring that only a select few estates translate this multi-communal territory into certified extra virgin olive oil.
