Callipo Tuna in Olive Oil

Callipo is a historic Italian brand renowned for its high-quality canned tuna. Founded in 1913 by Giacinto Callipo in Pizzo, Calabria, it was the first company in Italy to tin the Mediterranean Tuna. The company maintains a strong commitment to traditional processing methods, often involving hand-cleaning and packing to ensure the preservation of flavor and texture.

Today, the brand remains under the management of the Callipo family, specifically the fourth and fifth generations. The manufacturing primarily takes place in their facility in Maierato, Italy, staying true to its regional roots. The brand has expanded its offerings beyond tuna to include other seafood specialties and even artisanal gelato, but remains a staple of Italian culinary excellence in the preserved fish sector.
