Cozza di Scardovari

Food · PDO · 1 municipality

Recognized under EU PDO status since 2012, the Cozza di Scardovari stands apart from other regional shellfish through its exceptionally narrow geographic footprint. Unlike neighboring marine denominations that span wide territories, this mussel is cultivated exclusively within a single municipality: Porto Tolle, in the Veneto region. This hyper-local production is managed by a dedicated group of 47 verified producers. Monitored by the Consorzio di Tutela della Cozza di Scardovari DOP, this strict territorial limitation ensures the mussel remains entirely distinct from broader seafood products, tying its identity solely to this one specific administrative and geographical zone.
