Inside the production zone

Towns of ours that the Limone Costa d'Amalfi IGP zone covers, read from the denomination’s own published rules. Lying inside a zone is a smaller claim than being the place people mean when they say the name, which is why these sit apart from the ones above.

  A coastal hamlet of 664 people on the Amalfi Coast, home to a monastery pastry and a sea cave that glows green.

Catalogue note: this is what we can document, not everything that qualifies. Where a zone is written in law as a whole province rather than a list of communes, we never expand it to towns, so a town missing here has not been ruled out. Plenty of comuni inside the wider zone also sit outside our catalogue of 1,000. See how the data is sourced.
