History and Tradition

THE CAMPISI FAMILY COMPANY WAS BORN IN 1854 IN MARZAMEMI (SR)

Linked to the sea for over a century, Salvatore Campisi produces and transforms a vast range of fish products , from red tuna, swordfish, amberjack, to the highly prized bottarga, mosciame (tuna ham) up to the refining of the catch, such as Red Tuna Buzzonaglia of Sicily, in pestos and pâtés, or in sauces .

The use of ancient techniques, dating back to the Arab period , refined over time in the small village of Marzamemi, the drying and maturing of tuna products , in a particularly suitable climate, has made Salvatore Campisi worthy of being considered one of the last connoisseurs of Traditions, the experience and care of a time, now in extinction and worthy of protection and recognition.

Campisi states: “Our goal is to continuously research those products that have made the history of our land, we have put on the market the famous Garum Excellens , a condiment based on fish and fresh local spices used by the ancient Romans in the 5th century BC . It is highly sought after by connoisseurs of traditional cuisine ."

It should not be forgotten that Marzamemi is located in the municipality of Pachino : in recent years the Campisi company has also dedicated itself to the processing and transformation of vegetable products, first of all the Red Gold of Pachino , the "Pachino PGI Tomato" , known throughout the world for its infinite sweetness.

One of the most successful products is the tomato sauce, in the ribbed or cherry quality, Paolo Campisi assures " The processing has remained the same that the local inhabitants have traditionally handed down for generations. Authenticity, freshness of the raw materials and strict controls guarantee the highest quality ."

This aspect recalls one of the fundamental values ​​of the Campisi company, namely its code of ethics. Aware of the fact that it lives off the fruits of the land and the sea, the company respects the territory by providing for the processing of products with guaranteed and controlled origin, such as the PGI Pachino Tomato or the use of fish caught exclusively by hook and never by slaughter , in the name of a healthy relationship between man and nature .

The attention to the identity of the territory combined with the control of all manufacturing processes and the authenticity of the ingredients make Campisi a reality that marries the ancient flavors of the land and sea of ​​Sicily.
