Callipo Conserve
Family-owned (1913) yellowfin tuna fillet producer with hand-packing.
Founded in 1913 by Giacinto Callipo in Pizzo, Calabria, the company has remained a family operation through five generations. All production stages are performed in Calabria, from raw material processing to packaging. The signature product is hand-packed tuna fillets made from yellowfin tuna, with extended aging of at least 12 months to develop flavor. The company uses only 50% of processed tuna cuts for fillet production, applying selective quality criteria.
Callipo produces tuna and seafood products in glass and tin formats under the "Storie di Mare" line, alongside the "Dalla Nostra Terra" range which incorporates local ingredients. Products are packaged with options including tuna in natural water, olive oil, and organic olive oil. The company holds certifications to protect consumers, though specific certifications are referenced without detail on the website. Hand-packing remains part of the production process, following traditional Calabrese methods.
The company is based in Pizzo, with a manufacturing facility in Maierato also referenced. It operates direct retail locations in Milan, Rome, Cosenza, and Reggio Calabria, plus company outlet stores, and offers online sales through its e-commerce platform. Guided facility tours are available by appointment.
