EU PGI status for Olio dei Colli di Bologna

Overview

The European Commission has granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status to Olio dei Colli di Bologna, an extra virgin olive oil produced in the hills of the Bologna metropolitan area. The certification recognizes the oil’s specific organoleptic profile and the unique environmental conditions of the region, including its proximity to UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Local officials, including representatives from the municipality of San Lazzaro, have expressed support for the designation. They anticipate the status will promote sustainable development and ‘oleoturismo’ (oil tourism) by linking high-quality production with the local landscape. To further promote the region, San Lazzaro plans to join the Associazione Nazionale Città dell’Olio in 2025.
