Olio lucano

Olio lucano IGP designates the olive oil originating from Basilicata, spanning a vast production zone of 131 municipalities that begins alphabetically with Abriola. What sets this Protected Geographical Indication apart from its active neighbours since its recognition in 2019 is a stark administrative contrast: the registry currently records zero verified producers. While sibling regions boast active producers, this designation exists across a massive geographical footprint without a single certified operator to claim the name. This gap between the extensive territorial boundaries and an empty producer registry defines the current status of the Olio lucano origin.
