Limone Femminello del Gargano
Food · PGI · 3 municipalities
Recognized under EU protection since 2003, the Limone Femminello del Gargano IGP represents a highly localized citrus origin in Puglia. Unlike neighboring lemon-growing regions, this cultivation is strictly confined to just three municipalities: Ischitella, Rodi Garganico, and Vico del Gargano. This micro-terroir is maintained by a small collective of only 35 verified producers. It is distinguished from typical standalone lemon appellations by its shared institutional protection, overseen alongside local oranges by the Consorzio di Tutela dell'Arancia del Gargano IGP e del Limone Femminello del Gargano IGP, which unites these distinct regional citrus crops.
