Giffone

Giffone, a municipality within Italy's Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, benefits from the unique microclimate and specific soils characteristic of this southernmost part of Calabria. This distinct environment is essential for cultivating the prized fruit that yields the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, a product globally renowned for its aromatic oil. But Giffone's terroir supports more than this single specialty; it's a contributor to an impressive 12 protected Italian denominations. These range from the succulent Clementine di Calabria IGP to the intensely flavoured Liquirizia di Calabria DOP, and celebrated cured meats such as Capocollo di Calabria DOP, each reflecting the profound connection between this land and its distinctive produce.
