produttori — Reggio Calabria · Calabria
On the seafront of the Strait, where Calabria looks across to Sicily, Viale della Libertà (a coastal avenue) is home to a shop that gathers the best of the regional larder: artisan pasta, seasonal preserves, oils and cured meats that carry within them the character of a generous land.
The shop's counter brings together carefully selected raw materials: artisan pasta that keeps just the right roughness to hold the sauce, crates of fresh produce and sacks of local flours. Every item in this larder comes from a direct relationship with producers from across Calabria, chosen one by one.
Pasta is at the heart of the offering: traditional Calabrian shapes, made according to gestures handed down over generations, with durum wheat semolina that gives back flavour and texture. Carmela Giordano selects it with the same care an artisan brings to choosing raw materials, favouring those who still work by hand and respect the dough's own timing.
The shelves line up Calabria's excellences: cured meats and typical cheeses, extra virgin olive oils and artisan preserves, jams, honey and wines from the region. A selection that spans the whole Calabrian larder, built for those seeking authenticity without having to travel the region's markets. The shop is open six days a week, from early morning to late afternoon.
A landmark shop for Calabrian food culture: the page brings together the full selection and the details needed to find it on Viale della Libertà.
