Dauno
Olive oil · PDO · 61 municipalities
Unlike broader Puglian olive oil designations that span the southern plains, the Dauno DOP limits its geographical footprint exclusively to 61 northern municipalities, including Accadia and Alberona. Recognised by the European Union since 1997, this specialized northern enclave isolates its production from neighboring southern oils, focusing on a precise terroir managed today by exactly 92 verified producers. This strict territorial delimitation ensures that the oil reflects the specific microclimates of these particular foothills rather than the wider regional output, monitored by the Consorzio Daunia Verde to guarantee the origin of every certified bottle.
