About us

Ciao – il pomodoro di Napoli is the historic brand of the Compagnia Mercantile D’Oltremare, a brand that was born in 1979 thanks to the vision of Lino Cutolo and his brothers, Franco and Remo, with a precise vocation: to bring the know-how of the South to world.
More than 40 years have passed and the journey continues: CMDO and Ciao – il pomodoro di Napoli are present in more than 95 countries on all continents and is a reference reality in the Italian agri-food sector.

Why Ciao?

Ciao – il pomodoro di Napoli. We identify with the most well-known Italian word in the world: a welcoming and inclusive greeting like Neapolitan cuisine.
In nomen omen: what was an intuition of Lino Cutolo has become a talisman and at the same time a flag that has opened the doors of all continents to us!
