Tanda & Spada: Authentic Flavours from the Heart of Calabria
Rooted in Calabrian Tradition
Situated in Calabria, southern Italy, Tanda & Spada draws from the region’s rich agricultural heritage and vibrant culinary culture. Known for its sun-soaked hills and fertile soil, Calabria offers ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality produce. This deep connection to place is central to Tanda & Spada’s identity.
A Range of Artisan Products
Tanda & Spada specialises in traditional Calabrian foods, focusing on handcrafted pastas, legumes, grains and preserved vegetables. Their pasta, made with selected durum wheat semolina, is firm and flavourful, holding sauces beautifully. Each variety reflects artisanal methods, celebrating both texture and tradition.
Carefully Selected Ingredients
Every ingredient is sourced with care and a focus on quality. They favour organic and locally grown crops to ensure freshness and flavour. Avoiding artificial additives, they embrace natural cultivation in keeping with Italian culinary heritage.
An Ethos of Purity and Respect

Artisan Production – Crafting with Patience and Skill

Beans, grains and vegetables are carefully cleaned, sorted and preserved to enhance their natural qualities. Slow drying and gentle handling protect flavour and texture.
Sustainability and Community
Supporting local farmers and eco-conscious practices is key to their mission. This close relationship with land and community ensures each product is both delicious and responsibly made.
