Anoia

Anoia, a small municipality of fewer than 2,000 residents in Calabria's Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, is a crucial source for specific Italian excellences. Here, the distinct local climate and specific soil conditions nurture the famed Bergamot citrus. This is why it yields the "Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP," one of the 12 protected denominations associated with the area. The region's fertile lands also give rise to the succulent "Clementine di Calabria IGP" and contribute to the character of "Calabria IGT" wines. These exceptional products, from the unique local olive oils ("Olio di Calabria IGP") to cured meats, are intrinsically linked to this precise southern Italian terroir.
