Olio dei Colli di Bologna

Recognised by the European Union in 2024, the Olio dei Colli di Bologna IGP establishes a protected geographic footprint across fifty-five municipalities within the Emilia-Romagna region, stretching from the urban limits of Bologna to the mountainous terrain of Alto Reno Terme. What distinguishes this newborn olive oil denomination from its established regional neighbours is its empty registry; despite its official geographic boundaries, there are currently zero verified producers active under the designation. This unique status positions the geographic indication as an expectant regulatory canvas, waiting for local olive growers to certify their harvests under the new quality standards.
