A line of products that are the result of careful selection of raw materials and expert craftsmanship. No artificial flavors, only authentic taste. Strict food safety controls ensure that all the beneficial properties of the almonds are preserved. Calabria, as it tastes.

Caracciolo –
Calabrian almond art since 1965

Caracciolo began in 1965 as a small craft laboratory in Brancaleone, a coastal town on the Ionian side of Calabria. Giovanni Caracciolo and Caterina Laganà laid the foundation there for a manufactory that still relies on the same principle today: carefully selected raw materials, traditional processing, no use of artificial flavors.

From this workshop, the Amandula line was created – almond paste, almond drinks, nut spreads, and truffle nuts, originally developed for ice cream parlors and confectioneries. The recipes are geared towards the natural character of the Calabrian almond: intense in aroma, with a fine sweetness and a slightly bitter finish that is reminiscent of freshly roasted nuts.

Strict quality controls ensure that the valuable properties of the almonds are preserved – from the raw material to the glass. Those who try the products from Caracciolo get a piece of Calabria on the table: artisanal, direct, and without detours.
