Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle

Food · PDO · 23 municipalities

Recognised since 2017, the Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle DOP is defined by an exceptionally narrow production scale that distinguishes it from other regional fresh cheeses. While generic mozzarella is produced widely across southern Italy, this specific denomination is restricted to just 12 verified producers. These authorized dairies operate within a defined zone of 23 municipalities in Puglia, including Alberobello and Altamura. Overseen by the Consorzio per la tutela della Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle D.O.P., this strict limitation ensures that the cheese remains a highly localized product, preventing the broader commercial replication common to its non-designated counterparts.
