One family, four generations, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
We’re a family-owned company 85 years in the making and we're on a mission - to bring a little happiness to everyday life through handed-down recipes & unforgettable flavors.
What do you do when you're 5,000 miles from home and desperately missing the comfort food you grew up on? For Giuseppe Mezzetta, the answer was obvious - import it to America yourself. In 1935, he did just that, opening a storefront in San Francisco's North Beach and introducing the staples of his childhood to the local community. We've come a long way since those days, but our unwavering commitment to family recipes, world-class ingredients, and unforgettable flavor remains the same, and we aren’t satisfied until we get it right. At our family-owned company, everyone is an honorary Mezzetta—from the farmers to the team on the factory floor, from the sales team who keep the shelves stocked to our loyal fans who seek a bit of adventure in every meal. That’s how it’s always been at Mezzetta®, and that’s how it always will be.
Every jar has a journey
It starts in the farms
We travel all across the globe in search of the finest possible ingredients, developing long-term relationships with local farmers. The result? The best possible products for our customers.
Next step - perfecting the product
Once our ingredients enter our factory, the real work begins. In both our test kitchens and production lines, we work tirelessly to ensure Mezzetta products are of the highest possible quality.
The seal of approval
The name Mezzetta on the jar is a promise that you're taking home the best ingredients on the planet. We check our products for quality before, during and after they've left the factory floor.
At last, a seat at the table
Ultimately, the key ingredient to a joy-filled meal is family & friends. Our products should be enjoyed the same way we've always made them - with love.
Four generations in the making
For over 85 years, we've brought delicious and unique foods from across the world to the American table. A lot has changed over that time, but President Jeff Mezzetta's commitment to quality and innovation is just as great as his great-grandfather Giuseppe's.
Purpose
At Mezzetta we select the finest ingredients the world has to offer, and craft high quality products to inspire more people to add a little more happiness in their life through food. Because when you share your food, you're sharing a part of who you are.
