Callipo

One of the Best Italian Tuna Brands

Callipo Tuna was founded in 1913 by Giacinto Callipo in Calabria, Italy. For more than 100 years, as a family-owned company, they have been considered one of the best canned tuna brands in the country. In 1926, Callipo was even named as the official supplier to the Royal Household, and in 2014, Italy issued a commemorative stamp celebrating the Italian tuna brand. (The € 0.80 stamp was part of the Excellence of the Productive and Economic System postage series.) Callipo attributes their success to their guiding principle that quality food is “a way of being.” They have now become a leading producer of Mediterranean tuna and other seafood products as well. Their tuna is dolphin safe, is in total accordance with the protections of the habitat of the sea, and of course, is absolutely delicious!

Types of Callipo Tuna

This Italian seafood company only uses the best quality Yellowfin Tuna. All of their canned tuna and glass jars of tuna fillets are quality-checked, cooked, and packaged in their facility in the Italian region of Calabria. The brand packs most of their tuna fish in olive oil, and alongside their regular flavor, offers delicious flavor infusions like chili pepper and rosemary. The brand also offers grated tuna roe, which can be used as a condiment for pasta, pizza, and other Italian dishes for a kick of real tuna flavor. Their tuna, which is ripened in olive oil, is for sale according to product size. We carry everything from small cans to huge jars!

How to Eat This Premium Quality Yellow Fin Tuna 

Callipo tuna fillets are tasty when eaten directly out of the jar or can, but they can also make a delightful part of various recipes.
