Delizie di Calabria

The story of Delizie di Calabria, a family business founded by Domenico Scalise, began four decades ago in Calabria, a region where the sun shines 300 days a year. An important city of ancient Magna Graecia, this very mountainous region in southern Italy lies between the Ionian Sea (to the east) and the Tyrrhenian Sea (to the west) and is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina. Here, the peperoncino found its ideal habitat, becoming the exponent of a rich and healthy gastronomic culture.

The history of the Calabrian tradition of preserves is so ancient that it is lost in time. Products from the land were preserved in pots and remained available all year round, with all their freshness. Born as a small farm dedicated to processing agricultural products, Delizie di Calabria is now a benchmark in the production of Peperoncino di Calabria and other Calabrian riches. A modern and efficient production structure, yet respectful of the environment. It combines peperoncino with other tasty ingredients, such as Tropea red onion, olives, dried tomatoes, bergamot, among many others. Each ingredient finds its place on tables, but also in larders, full of delicious preserves.
