What grows here
Maropati
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Maropati, a small municipality of 1,289 inhabitants within the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, Calabria, is a vital nexus for Italian protected origins. Its distinct microclimate and terrain foster an agricultural legacy that underpins the existence of 12 distinct denominations. Foremost among these is the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP. This unique citrus, coveted globally for its aromatic essence in both perfumery and cuisine, thrives exclusively along a specific coastal strip of this province. Maropati's contribution thus solidifies its critical role in safeguarding this rare essence and enriching Italy's diverse taste map.
