Valdemone
Olive oil · PDO · 108 municipalities
Established in 2002, the Valdemone PDO represents a curious anomaly within Sicily’s olive-growing landscape. Geographically, this extra virgin olive oil denomination spans a vast territory of 108 Sicilian municipalities, beginning alphabetically with the coastal town of Acquedolci. Yet, despite this extensive designated zone and more than two decades of official recognition, the denomination remains entirely dormant on the ground. According to official registries, Valdemone currently records zero verified producers actively bottling under the label. While neighboring Sicilian olive oil origins thrive in the international market, this specific denomination exists purely as a legal designation, awaiting its first actual producer to bring its defined terroir to life.
