Sliced Calabrese - 1kg

Sliced Calabrese

Quattro Stelle’s Sliced Calabrese is a traditional salami from Southern Italy, celebrated for its bold, spicy character. This is the salami that started it all for Quattro Stelle, deeply rooted in Italian family traditions, where generations of Italian families crafted salami in the winter months and hung it in garages to dry.

Made using a family recipe, this salami is seasoned with homemade chilli, red wine, and capsicum sauce, creating a rich depth of flavour with a balanced yet lingering heat. While spicy, it is not overpowering, allowing the salami’s robust, savoury notes to shine through.

Pre-sliced for convenience, Sliced Calabrese is perfect for charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and antipasti platters, or for adding a bold, smoky depth to pasta and pizza.

About the Producer

Quattro Stelle is a Sydney-based artisan producer with a rich heritage rooted in traditional Italian butchery and charcuterie. The legacy began in the 1850s when Antonio Sgro’s great-great-grandfather, Francesco Nicastri, and his brother Giovanni opened a "macelleria" (butcher shop) in Castiglione, Calabria, Italy. This family-run establishment, known as "La Chianca," was passed down through generations until its closure during World War II.

Seeking better opportunities, the Nicastri family emigrated to Australia, bringing with them their passion for traditional Italian salumi. Although they did not reopen a butcher shop, they continued crafting these cherished products for family and friends. In 2006, at the age of 23, Antonio Sgro founded Quattro Stelle, aiming to revive and perfect the long-lost art of salumi making passed down through his family.

Today, Quattro Stelle is renowned among Australia's top salumi manufacturers, celebrated for its dedication to authenticity, quality, and innovation. Their products set a high standard in the food industry, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and tradition that continues to influence and inspire others.
