Terra d'Otranto
Olive oil · PDO · 96 municipalities
Established in 1998, the Terra d'Otranto DOP designates a specific extra virgin olive oil origin within Puglia, distinct from its regional neighbors by its strict geographical confinement to 96 precise municipalities. This specialized production zone begins alphabetically with Alessano and is safeguarded by the dedicated Consorzio Olio DOP "Terra d'Otranto". Unlike broader regional oils, this protected designation represents a highly concentrated niche, currently numbering just 32 verified producers who meet the strict local standards. This small group of registered operators ensures that the southern Pugliese oils under this label maintain their distinct identity within a single, officially recognized territory.
