The processes include procedures for the careful selection of raw materials and cooking.
The ingredients used are natural, without the use of synthetic flavorings, dyes and preservatives, in full compliance with local recipes, in reference to the most ancient tradition.



Our Company exclusively provides fresh products which are semi-processed and temporarely stored in hermetically sealed medium-sized metal containers, canned at the time of harvesting.
Here’s the difference between food stored in large plastic bags, which are usually very salty, and our semi-finished ones, which are ready with the right amount of salt and natural aromas.
The preserved artichoke is indeed very delicate: the flavor, incorporated through this fresh procedure, easily loses its aroma if submitted to energetic desalination during the preparation process. The same consistency is affected thereby losing much of its characteristic palatability and fragrance.



The raw material is purchased by experienced national salter from the most prestigious fishing areas. They send the salted product in special containers ready for the final seasoning. The secret of our tasty anchovies is one: the scrupulous salting up of the fish.
Once received, the product proceeds with a slow ripening in our deep cellars, at the constant temperature of 8/10 degrees Celsius throughout the year!
Various flavors of the filled product complete the selection of this tasty and natural complement of our table: parsley, hot peppers or truffle flavoring etc. Last but not least, the product made in spicy sauce: obtained from an ancient early twentieth century recipe which suggested a further two months aging on the packaged product to fully savor the precious flavor and aromatic seasoning!
This recipe dates back to 1917 and is still well-liked by those who love strong but refined tastes. The consumer’s imagination has even suggested curious uses in the kitchen as a seasoning for boiled or cut into pieces potatoes or even used a s a topping over short quality pasta!



They are currently very popular!

It is the result of a careful selection of products based on the valuable suggestions of our affectionate customers who have always contributed along with our managers, pointing out the most sophisticated consumer trends! The assortment has now become quite large: with traditional olives stuffed with anchovies and capers, there are a number of other delicious products that are getting an unbeatable sales success.
For example we produce the famous spicy chillies, emptied and filled with minced tuna plus other flavoring elements, or anchovies and capers, even smoked salmon, tasty soft cheese, rolled dried tomatoes stuffed with capers and anchovies, etc.



A highly concentrated preparation, used as a savory spreadable base!

It can be combined with good raw butter to have an extremely delicate taste. It is used to prepare traditional cocktail canapès. The mushroom and truffle patès can also be baked for a short time, for example placed on a thin slice of cheese to blend a unique flavor!

They are sold in small jars because, as mentioned, the taste is very intense and thus avoids excessive product to be left over, moreover you can preserve the freshness every time you open it .
