[3] An agricultural centre, Eboli is known mainly for olive oil and for its dairy products, among which the famous buffalo mozzarella from the area.

Eboli is located at the feet of Montedoro, a peripheral spur of the Monte Raione-Monte Ripalta group.

Its hamlets (frazioni) are Campolongo, Cioffi, Corno d'oro, Fiocche, Santa Cecilia and Taverna Nova.

Scanty remains of the ancient polygonal walls (4th century BC) can still be seen, as well as of a Roman imperial villa in the locality of Paterno.

Notable is the Basilica of St. Peter Alli Marmi, (1076) located at the bottom of the hill of Montedoro, where the old medieval site of the city was situated.
