Patata dell'Alto Viterbese
Food · PGI · 9 municipalities
The Patata dell'Alto Viterbese occupies an unusual position among Italy's protected foods. Officially recognized as an IGP since 2012, this northern Lazio potato denomination is legally restricted to a cultivation zone spanning nine specific municipalities, including Acquapendente, Bolsena, and Grotte di Castro. However, what distinguishes this designation from its regional siblings is its current administrative reality: it records zero verified producers. This complete lack of active, certified registrants means that while the geographical boundaries and historical naming rights remain strictly protected under European law, the potato currently exists as a dormant commercial origin, waiting for local agriculturalists to officially claim the status.
