The Madeo Agri-food Supply chain, located on the Ionian presilane hills, in San Demetrio Corone, was born from the intuition of the young entrepreneur Ernesto Madeo, who created the first pig breed in 1984.
The passion comes from the knowledge handed down by our parents and grandparents: we have been for generations and the Supply chain is much more than a workplace, it is our home, our daily life.



The Supply chain is an intelligent ecosystem that puts man and nature at the centre.
All the products come from this integrated system and contain the best of Calabria: excellent raw materials, traditional processes, intense flavours.
The products of Madeo line are traditional from Calabria, sweet and spicy. They are made following the old family recipes, with typical and genuine ingredients, like wild fennel, fresh hot chili pepper paste, and extra virgin olive oil, all from our Supply chain.
Salsiccia, Soppressata, Capocollo and Pancetta are the PDO Calabrian cured meats, made with the meat of pigs born, raised and slaughtered in Calabria. Flavoured with wild fennel and the paste obtained from «Peperoncino di Calabria PGI» of our Supply chain.
Since 1984, in San Demetrio Corone (Cosenza), Madeo has managed the entire supply chain of Calabrian flavour: from raising native breeds — starting with the Calabrian Black Pig, saved from extinction — to curing Calabrian PDO cured meats and Black Pig specialities. An integrated, traceable supply chain, with energy produced by photovoltaic and biogas plants and an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system.
