Food · PGI · 60 municipalities

Canestrato di Moliterno IGP occupies a highly unusual position within the agricultural landscape of Basilicata. Recognized by the European Union since 2005, this protected food denomination covers a specific production zone spanning 60 distinct municipalities, including Accettura and Aliano. What separates this geographic designation from neighbouring southern Italian denominations is a striking administrative anomaly: the official registry currently lists zero verified producers. While the technical boundary remains firmly established across these sixty municipal territories, no active local operations are currently certified to market their goods under this specific designation, making it a dormant appellation awaiting commercial revival.
