About

From our woods our history, the centuries-old chestnut trees and their fruits.
The Sila, the undergrowth with precious and exquisite Porcini Mushrooms.
That’s where our long adventure starts.
Mushrooms and chestnuts, our foundations, our history.

We have started from here, first the Capellupo family with several generations, then the Capellupo C&C’s SALPA that has set sail all the way around the world.
Now the world is our landmark, where thanks to the work and sacrifice of our competent team, we are offering the delicacies of our land and our production.

Capellupo C. & C.’ s SALPA Srl is located in Petronà, a municipality on the slopes of the Sila Piccola, a natural ledge at circa 900 meters a.s.l. that faces the Calabrian Ionian Sea. For over 35 years SALPA has been working in the agricultural and food sector and for over 60 years, as Capellupo’s family, in the industry of mushrooms and chestnuts.

The first and foremost goal of the company consisted in the processing, transformation and wholesale of fresh and dried mushrooms as well as chestnuts. At the beginning this represented a seasonal activity, related to the period of production of goods which were plentiful and of a superior and unique quality in the neighboring areas.

From the late 1980’s SALPA has expanded its activity by introducing a selection of in oil preserves including, besides mushrooms, other soil products such as chili peppers, tomatoes, olives, eggplants, as well as a new line of frozen and dried mushrooms. All carefully selected and wrapped in large and small packaging sizes.
