About us
Made in Calabria is an idea born and realized in 2016, but has always existed in the hearts of Alessia and Nicola, for the work of their loved ones and for the love for their region of origin, which has been handed down to them for generations.
Calabria is wonderful, wild, rich in flavors, scents and wonderful places.
We are a real bridge between Calabria and the United States. An imaginary bridge, but also real. Two such far away countries, but so close, united by the passion for typical products, for flavors, for perfumes and for the landscapes of one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Why are we not just an import company?
It is possible to recognize the value of traditions, the love for the family and the territory when carefully choosing the products and services offered.
Alessia and Nicola know the suppliers personally: they looked them in the eye and saw the love for Calabria, the passion for their work and the care for their products.
By shaking their hands, they realized they would have been able to work well together.
This platform, this bridge, grows and renews quickly, with a rapid, intuitive and functional technological system. But never and never will it stray from some values considered fundamental: the cult of work, transparency and honesty.
To import Calabria to the United States and to export from the United States the love for the Calabria.
All this in a single platform, a complete reference for those who are looking for authenticity.
A family behind Made in Calabria
It all began in 1973 when Nicola and Marisa Parrotta opened Calabria Pork Store.
They began a mission to introduce southern italian specialities in US.
Since childhood, Nicola spent his weekends and summers working at Calabria Pork Store with his father. This inspired him to preserve the tradition of introducing Calabrian excellence to the world.
We consider to be our core values: a cult of work, transparency and honesty. Just as our families have taught us.
