Irpinia - Colline dell'Ufita
Olive oil · PDO · 38 municipalities
Recognized since 2005, the Irpinia - Colline dell'Ufita DOP designates protected extra virgin olive oil originating from 38 specific municipalities within Italy's Campania region, including Ariano Irpino and Castel Baronia. This olive-growing zone represents a precise geographic pocket, yet it stands in stark contrast to neighboring southern Italian oil appellations due to an unusual administrative status. Despite nearly two decades of official EU PDO standing, the denomination currently records zero verified producers actively bottling under the label. This vacancy leaves the official production of this northern Campania olive oil dormant on the market, waiting for local millers to activate its protected status.
