Candidoni

Candidoni, a small municipality of 402 souls in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, anchors a corner of Calabria particularly suited for distinct agricultural yields. Its precise geographic placement provides the unique microclimate instrumental for Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, the exquisite citrus essential oil whose production zone encompasses just 97 municipalities. This distinct environment also fosters the growth of prized Clementine di Calabria IGP and vines producing Calabria IGT wines. In total, Candidoni contributes to a robust portfolio of 12 protected denominations, underscoring its pivotal role in preserving Calabria’s authentic tastes, from fruit to traditional cured meats like Soppressata di Calabria DOP.
