On one side, there are recipes that are certified and have few ingredients and on the other, there are gourmet products. This is the wave of macro trends that the Italian sector of ready-made sauces is riding. Pesto is winning, with its varieties that include with or without garlic or vegan, along with tomato-based sauces made from select varieties of tomatoes such as datterini, cherry tomatoes and PDO and PGI regional varieties (San Marzano of Agro Sarnese Nocerino PDO, tomatoes from Pachino PGI). The sauce market is in strong expansion both in Europe, as well as in countries outside of Europe such as Asia and the United States.

We are also working on a new line for the American market based on the three most popular varieties: Alfredo, Marinara and Pesto in various formats (200g - 400g – 700g).”
