Specifiche di Prodotto

Filippo Callipo represents the fourth generation of the Callipo family. Callipo has been a family business since it's start in 1913, beginning in Pizzo, Italy. The company was the first enterprise in Calabria, and indeed was amongst the first in Italy, to tin the precious Tuna of the Mediterranean. From the very beginning its product was readily characterized for premium quality, and in 1926 was awarded with the licence of purveyor to the Royal Household. Yellowfin Tuna is fished in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and frozen in brine immediately on-board the ships. It is therefore quickly transferred to the Maierato premises respecting the cold temperatures, and undergoes a unique one day processing cycle starting with the round tuna. Characterised by its light pink colour and rather low in fat, Yellowfin is the most prestigious variety amongst the imported tunas. Callipo Tonna all'Olio di Oliva are delicious tuna chunks in multiple tins covered in Olive Oil, perfect as a delicious antipasto or an accompaniment to a dish.
