Who We Are

It is the flavors of tradition and the love for genuineness that have always characterized the production of the Scalzo Company, founded in 1973 by Giuseppe Scalzo. Initially, the production was closely tied to the trade of mushrooms, both fresh and dried, but over time, the activity grew and evolved, beginning the processing and marketing of tools for forestry. The decisive turning point came in 1989, when the company shifted from commercial to artisanal, thus starting a new processing aimed at preserving both fruit and wild products, using traditional processing methods, treating raw materials exclusively with natural elements, without preservatives. All according to the unique recipes of Mrs. Carmelina, the founder’s wife and current mainstay of the company. Sugar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and all elements useful for natural preservation are employed in Scalzo products. Today, the Scalzo Company produces a wide range of items, whose marketing is reserved for specialized shops throughout the national territory and beyond. And as in the best traditions, the company has managed to maintain a family character over time, assigning all members of the Scalzo family roles of responsibility. Scalzo products are all born in the Savuto Valley using traditional processing methods, treating raw materials exclusively with natural elements, without preservatives. This ensures that over time, the quality and genuineness characteristics that the company has pursued over the years are respected and maintained thanks to the love and dedication that have always represented the foundations for the success and achievement of Scalzo’s typical products.
