Arancia del Gargano

Arancia del Gargano IGP represents a highly localized citrus cultivation in Puglia, strictly confined to just three coastal municipalities: Ischitella, Rodi Garganico, and Vico del Gargano. While other Italian orange denominations span broad agricultural territories, this Protected Geographic Indication, recognized since 2006, is maintained by only 35 verified producers. It is also uniquely managed under a shared safeguarding body, the Consorzio di Tutela dell'Arancia del Gargano IGP e del Limone Femminello del Gargano IGP, linking its identity directly to the area's lemon heritage. This tight geographic restriction and combined citrus oversight distinguish it from more expansive southern Italian orange cultivations.
