Penisola Sorrentina

Established in 1997, the Penisola Sorrentina DOP designates a protected olive oil origin within Campania. While its official production zone spans an expansive territory of 550 municipalities—stretching alphabetically from Acerno and Acerra to Aiello del Sabato—this denomination currently presents a highly unusual paradox. Despite over two decades of formal recognition and vast geographical boundaries, the official registry records exactly zero verified producers actively bottling olive oil under this specific label. This total absence of active, certified commercial production distinguishes Penisola Sorrentina from neighboring Campania oil appellations, remaining a purely theoretical designation on the European agricultural map.
