Traditional Calabrian Cured Meats

The products of Madeo line are traditional from Calabria, sweet and spicy.
Made following the old family recipes, with typical and genuine ingredients, like wild fennel, chili pepper paste and extra virgin olive oil, all from our Supply chain.

TRADITIONAL NOBLE 'NDUJA

The ‘Nduja was born as a poor product of Calabrian delicatessen.

In fact, all the best cuts of meat were used in the production of the 4 PDO Calabrian cured meats: Sausage, Soppressata, Capocollo and Pancetta. It is said that the name may derive from the French “andouille”, a cured meat made with poor meats and probably imported into Calabria during the Napoleonic period, around the years 1806-1815.

Over the years, our Supply chain has improved the recipe, using only selected and high quality raw materials, making ‘Nduja a 100% Calabrian supply chain product: PDO Calabrian pork meats, hot pepper in fresh paste and extra virgin olive oil.
