Inside Callipo: the tuna tradition for over 110 years

Some companies do not belong only to the world of production, but to the very memory of a territory. Callipo is one of them: a name that for over 110 years has been telling the story of Calabria, the sea, the work of its craftspeople and a production tradition recognised well beyond regional borders. A visit to the Maierato plant takes you to the heart of this story and offers a close-up view of the work behind some of the tuna processing stages. It brings the visitor closer not only to the product, but to the know-how that makes it unique: handed-down gestures, attention to quality, care for detail and craftsmanship that, in some stages, still preserves the value of the artisan method, as in the bottling of the fillets. Through the guided tour, participants discover the production departments and get to know an organisation that has helped build the economic and cultural identity of the territory. Behind every step there are people, skills and a business history that continues to represent one of the most important excellences of the province of Vibo Valentia. The visit lasts about 50 minutes and is free, on request and subject to availability, for groups of 10 to 60 people. A valuable opportunity for anyone who wants to experience Calabria from an authentic perspective, stepping into the places where tradition, quality and territory meet every day. WeDei tip Book the visit a few days in advance and indicate the number of participants right away, so the date and time can be agreed with the company. After the visit, you can continue your journey through Pizzo, Vibo Valentia and the other authentic stops along the Costa degli Dei.
