Buttari Ettore

In Avezzano, on the Fucino plateau, Buttari Ettore works land that volcanic soil and decades of reclamation have made suitable for potato cultivation, a practice rooted here for generations. The activity focuses on a single denomination, Patata del Fucino IGP, a symbolic tuber of the protected area that spans nine municipalities. This yields the requirements that define its character: compact flesh, regular shape, intact skin—traits that combine the nature of the soil with a disciplined cultivation. Buttari's work remains anchored to this restricted geographical perimeter, where the variety expresses the qualities that distinguish it in the Italian and European markets. Rather than diversifying, the producer upholds a standard, maintaining for a single crop the demands for regularity and integrity that the IGP imposes. It is a specialized agriculture, measured by the Fucino terroir and the continuity of knowledge that the plateau has accumulated over time.
