The roots of ’O Sole ’e Napule’ lie in a family tradition dating back nearly a century. It all began in the 1930s, when Francesco Calabria, a skilled local farmer, started growing and selling his own agricultural produce to the emerging canning industry in Naples.
Building on this legacy, in the 1980s Francesco’s son, Alfonso, founded ’O Sole ’e Napule with the vision of bringing the family’s agricultural produce back to its roots in the form of preserved foods, making these products available to consumers around the world.In the 2000s, the company opened its first food-processing facility at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Here, the rich volcanic soil and favourable Mediterranean climate provide ideal conditions for producing high-quality preserves using locally sourced ingredients.Today, guided by a new generation and firmly rooted in the values of its family heritage, the company looks to the future with renewed enthusiasm and ambition.Its goal is to strengthen and expand its presence in both domestic and international markets, while continuing to offer products that combine quality, authenticity and tradition. Customer satisfaction remains a top priority, pursued through an ongoing commitment to improving quality standards and continuous investment in production facilities and machinery, as well as in marketing and communications. These efforts aim to enhance the brand’s identity, strengthen its market position and ensure its continued growth in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
