Artisan Story: Scalzo – Calabria’s Heart in Every Jar
In the pristine hills of Calabria, Scalzo brings the region’s rich flavors straight to your table. For the Scalzo family, preserving tradition is not just a business — it’s a way of life. From wild chicory to volcanic chili creams, every product tells the story of Calabria’s land, sun, and sea.
The journey begins in nature. Ingredients are carefully selected and harvested at peak freshness, from hand-picked vegetables to the finest local herbs. Each item is processed with meticulous care, respecting time-honored techniques that preserve flavor, texture, and aroma.
Whether it’s a jar of ’Nduja Sauce, Tomato Puree, Basil Sauce, Forest Sauce of Herbs and Mushrooms, Porcini Mushroom Sauce, Red Onion Cream from Tropea IGP, Turnip Greens Cream, Volcanic Chili Cream, Habanero Cream, or Sun-Dried Tomato Cream, Scalzo products are crafted to elevate every pasta dish while reflecting authentic Calabrian taste. Other specialties, like Chicory and Chili Pepper Cream, Black Olive Cream, and Artichoke Cream, offer endless ways to bring tradition and creativity to the table.
Family heritage is at the heart of Scalzo. Recipes passed down from Signora Carmelina, the family matriarch, guide every stage of production. Olive oil, salt, and spices are all carefully chosen to honor the land, while modern methods ensure consistency and safety without compromising quality.
Sustainability is woven into their ethos. By supporting local farmers and sourcing responsibly, Scalzo nurtures the community while protecting the environment. Their work is more than producing food — it’s about capturing the essence of Calabria and sharing it with the world.
From their family kitchen to your home, every jar from Scalzo is a taste of Calabria’s heritage, a celebration of natural ingredients, and a tribute to the passion and care of those who make it.
