Terre Tarentine

Olive oil · PDO · 13 municipalities

Established in 2002 within Puglia, the Terre Tarentine DOP designates extra virgin olive oil originating from a precise zone of 13 municipalities, including Castellaneta and Crispiano. This geographical demarcation distinguishes the olive oil from neighboring regional appellations. However, this denomination presents a unique anomaly among Italy's protected food origins: despite its official European Union recognition, the registry currently records zero verified producers. This leaves the technical specifications of the Terre Tarentine denomination as a dormant standard, waiting for active pressings within its designated boundaries to officially claim the name on the market.
