Callipo

Giacinto Callipo established the company in Pizzo, being the first in Calabria and among the earliest in Italy to employ the "fixed trap" system for canning prized Mediterranean tuna.

The processed Callipo Tuna was carefully packed into large cans, immersed in olive oil, and hermetically sealed. This innovative preservation method allowed the tuna to be stored well beyond the typical shelf life of fresh tuna.

Callipo Tuna: A Century of Excellence in Mediterranean Canning

In 1970, Callipo products were showcased in Parma at the XXV International Exhibition of Food Preservation Industries.

In 1995, Callipo made a pioneering move by introducing tuna fillets in glass jars—a groundbreaking idea that underscored the exceptional quality of our products.

In 2019, the company received recognition by being included in the Register of Italian Historic Companies of Unioncamere, marking over a century of uninterrupted activity.

Today, as Callipo celebrate 110 years of continuous operation, the company take pride in upholding values passed down through generations. Pippo Callipo, now supported by his sons Giacinto and Filippo Maria, represents the fifth generation steering the legacy forward.

Tuna Callipo: The Art of Preservation

For over a century, Callipo has been dedicated to crafting Tuna Fillets of unparalleled quality, meticulously processed entirely in Italy at our Maierato (VV) facility. This time-honored tradition, deeply rooted in Calabria, reflects the company's commitment to excellence.

Following the steaming of the tuna, Callipo meticulously selects the finest fillets by hand, adhering to stringent hygiene and food safety standards. These premium fillets are then carefully placed into jars, a process performed with precision.

The extended seasoning of Callipo Tuna in Olive Oil ensures an intense and incomparable flavor profile. Ideal for enhancing salads, tarts, and pizzas, and crafting a delectable tuna-based pasta sauce, these fillets are produced using carefully chosen raw materials and are entirely processed in Italy.

A distinctive feature of Callipo Tuna in oil lies in the use of Iodized Salt Presal, making them stand out as the sole product containing this special salt. Iodized Salt is safeguarded through a specific technological process, maintaining consistent iodine levels even after cooking and during food preparations. This preservation guarantees its assimilation, setting Callipo Tuna Fillets apart in terms of quality and nutritional value.

The undisputed quality of these fillets harmoniously meets the "preciousness" of the Mediterranean's quintessential culinary delight—extra virgin olive oil.
