Lenticchia di Altamura
Food · PGI · 19 municipalities
Established under geographic protection in 2016, the Lenticchia di Altamura IGP is defined by a production zone restricted to nineteen specific municipalities located mainly in Puglia. This legume distinguishes itself from generic market lentils through its strict confinement to this designated territory, which includes Altamura, Banzi, and Cassano delle Murge. While currently recording zero verified producers in the registry, the cultivation area remains under the authority of the Consorzio di tutela e valorizzazione della Lenticchia di Altamura IGP. This official body ensures that any future certified crop originates exclusively from these nineteen authorized municipalities, preserving the geographic origin of this protected denomination.
