The Scalzo Family
It is the flavors of tradition and the love for genuineness that have always characterized the production of Azienda Scalzo, founded in 1973 by Giuseppe Scalzo. Initially, the production was strictly linked to the trade of mushrooms, both fresh and dried, but over time, the activity grew and evolved, beginning the processing and marketing of forestry tools. The definitive turning point came in 1989, when the company shifted from commercial to artisanal, thus starting a new processing aimed at preserving both horticultural 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 the current mainstay of the company. It is sugar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and all the elements useful for natural preservation that are used in Scalzo products.
Today, the Scalzo Company produces a wide range of products, the marketing of which is reserved for specialized stores 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 been the foundation for the success and achievement of Scalzo's typical products.
