OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
From Mountain to Table
Three generations. One valley in Calabria. Every step controlled in-house.
A Family Story Since 1984
Filiera Madeo was founded in 1984 in San Demetrio Corone, in the Sila mountains of Calabria. What began as a small butcher shop is today one of the most complete vertical supply chains in Italian cured meat.
We raise our own pigs. We grow feed on our own land. We mill our own cereals. We cure every salami on site. The chili peppers come from Calabrian farmers we have worked with for decades.
Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is anonymous.
Phases
We cultivate the fields organically, without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The olive groves are located on the Presilane Joniche Hills, within the PGI Olio di Calabria and PDO Bruzio area, with organic production.
The pepper fields are strictly outdoors, where we cultivate two native biodiversity varieties: "naso di cane" (or "roggianese") and "cornetto piccante".
For two generations we have been raising and enhancing the native rough Black Pig of Calabria and the white PDO pig, outdoors, under animal welfare regimes and without the use of antibiotics from birth.
The photovoltaic and biogas plants produce renewable energy, electricity and heat, which feeds the supply chain in full respect of the environment.
The three establishments deal with the processing of meat, the production of salted and sliced cured meats and cold cuts.
The production lines are: Traditional Calabrian Cured Meats, PDO Calabrian Cured Meat, Black Pig Meats and Cold Cuts.
