Carota Novella di Ispica

The Carota Novella di Ispica IGP is a specialized Sicilian crop, distinguished from other carrot varieties by its cultivation restricted to sixteen specific municipalities, including Ispica and Acate. Recognized since 2006, this European protected geographical indication ensures that only ten verified producers currently market the carrot under this official designation. Under the oversight of the Consorzio di Tutela IGP Carota Novella di Ispica, production remains exclusively bound to this defined Sicilian territory, preventing any neighboring regional varieties from claiming the name. This strict geographic limitation and small pool of certified growers define its distinct identity within Italy's agricultural landscape.
