Cicoria puntarelle molfettese

Recognized as an EU PGI in 2025, Cicoria puntarelle molfettese occupies a highly unusual position among the protected foods of Italy. What distinguishes this chicory denomination from its regional neighbors is its current administrative reality: the official registry records 0 active municipalities within its production zone and 0 verified producers. While neighboring cultivations rely on established networks of certified growers, this specific entry remains a blank canvas since its 2025 inception. This total absence of active farms and defined territory sets the designation apart, representing a formal geographic title that awaits its very first localized agricultural participants to begin official distribution.
