Products with an Eye to Tradition and Quality
It all began with Adele’s simple request to her husband, Antonio: to sell her homemade dried tomatoes in oil at the fairs where Antonio showcased the cured meats from the factory where he worked. The tomatoes were an instant hit, flying off the shelves as Antonio deftly marketed them. Adele’s efforts earned them 80,000 lire, a testament to their burgeoning success. Inspired by this triumph, Antonio and Adele embarked on their grand vision: to share the authentic flavors of Calabrian products with Italy and the world.
Thus, TuttoCalabria was born—a humble venture rooted in their home kitchen. With an abundance of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and mushrooms from their garden, Antonio and Adele began selling their bounty locally. As demand grew, they relocated to Marcellinara, a strategic move that laid the foundation for TuttoCalabria’s expansion.
Participation in national and international fairs propelled TuttoCalabria into the global spotlight. Antonio’s commitment to quality and authenticity garnered acclaim, leading to exports across Europe and beyond. With Giampaolo, their son, joining the business, the legacy continued to flourish. Giampaolo’s memories include late-night journeys to fulfill orders, exemplifying the dedication ingrained in TuttoCalabria’s ethos. Their perseverance paid off, with TuttoCalabria becoming synonymous with Calabrian chili culture, embraced even in distant lands like Australia. Through unwavering passion and relentless effort, TuttoCalabria transformed from a modest home operation into a renowned purveyor of Calabrian delicacies, leaving an indelible mark on the global culinary landscape.
