Manufacturer: IASA
Brand: IASA
IASA is Tucked away in a small cove of the Amalfi Coast, the small village of Cetara is guarded by an ancient watchtower that was used to defend the coast of Campania in ancient times. Every family in Cetara has a connection to the sea. One of these families is the di Mauro family. Francesco di Mauro, a retired Navy Captain, founded Ittica Alimentare Salerno (IASA) and was among the first companies to preserve the bounty of tuna and anchovies brought in by the local fishermen. IASA became well known throughout Italy when Francesco developed a new steam pasteurizer to preserve fish in glass jars. The visual impact of the succulent chunks of local tuna and plump pink anchovies carefully packed in olive oil made the product an instant success, later copied by many other producers.
In addition to their fish lines, IASA offers some delicious vegetable items, these spicy hot red peppers from Calabria are not to be missed. Not overly hot, just slightly sweet, with enough savory heat to livena ny dish.
