What grows here
Roccaforte del Greco
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Roccaforte del Greco, a small community nestled in the Reggio Calabria province, contributes to the remarkable tapestry of Calabrian flavors. Here, the unique environmental conditions of this Ionian coastal strip, shaped by the Aspromonte mountains, nurture the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria "Olio essenziale" DOP. This highly prized citrus, whose essential oil is globally renowned, thrives almost exclusively within a restricted 97-municipality zone, including Roccaforte. Beyond this specific local treasure, the area also overlaps with 11 other protected denominations, showcasing the region's broader agricultural bounty.
