Who we are
Our company
La Calabrese is a project that was born in 2007 with the marketing of typical Calabrian products on the main platform of the time which was Ebay. Here we sold almost exclusively Calabrian drinks.
As profound connoisseurs of the territory we realized that in our area there were an infinite number of micro producers of Calabrian specialties completely unknown to the world of the web at that time still in the early stages of online sales.
A shame because these producers created and still create Calabrian specialties in an artisanal way using the raw materials of the territory. Local products processed by hand following local recipes, above all without the use of preservatives, colorants or unnatural compounds. The lower Tyrrhenian coast of Cosenza is a unique territory where you can get from the sea to the mountains in 15 minutes and where a multitude of vegetables grow naturally. The semi-wild pig farms give life to artisanal salami factories and the production of cheeses in an artisanal way still exists.
In 2015 our e-commerce was born and includes over 250 Calabrian specialties, many of which are produced by those micro producers who have started producing for our customers.
In 2022 Calabria da Gustare was born, the first point of sale of Calabrian specialties and the first lines of products under the Calabria da Gustare brand were also born.
In 2023 the "Oro delle Muse" brand was born with the production of 3 lines of cured meats, cheeses, 3 lines of pickles, pasta, sauces, spices and typical local sweets. The goal has always been to incorporate small local producers under a single brand to market their, our, products all over the world, deliberately excluding large-scale distribution and above all enhancing direct sales without intermediaries in order to maintain fair prices.
Today the company sells its products directly in Italy, Europe and America and supplies a series of wholesale outlets that exclusively resell the "Oro delle Muse" brand products.
