The Calogiuri family has lived in Lecce, a city in the Puglia region of southern Italy, for over 600 years. The warm Mediterranean climate and gentle breezes here are ideal for growing certain drought-resistant crops, resulting in fruits that are not only fully ripe but also exceptionally sweet and delicious. In 1825, Mr. Calogiuri brought his family’s secret recipe to life, registering the name Vincott® and ensuring this classic southern Italian flavor has been passed down for six generations and sold worldwide!
