Galatro

Galatro, a modest community in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, is intimately shaped by the singular terroir of southern Calabria. This unique environment underpins the existence of a remarkable 12 protected food and wine denominations originating within its boundaries. Chief among these is the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, a prized citrus essential oil whose specific qualities thrive only along this particular coastal strip. Furthermore, Galatro contributes to the production zones for Clementine di Calabria IGP and the historically significant Liquirizia di Calabria DOP, both benefiting from the region's characteristic soils and climate.
