Before Colavita USA became one of the best-selling Extra Virgin Olive Oils in America, Colavita was a small family business on the opposite side of the ocean. A long time ago in the quaint hilltop village of Sant'Elia a Pianisi, located in the Molise region of Italy, two small family businesses were born. One family operated a stone mill for crushing homegrown olives used to produce fine extra virgin olive oil. The other family gathered the durum wheat harvest, milled the wheat into semolina grain and ultimately produced fresh pasta for the local market. Over time, both families became experts at their trade, passing their knowledge to the next generation, who in turn did the same. The two families had much in common not only in perfecting time-honored production methods, but also in name. They were both Colavita families. Today, the Colavita Olive Oil and Colavita Pasta companies are still family-owned and operating in the same town of their ancestors. They have since joined with another family-owned company, Colavita USA, and together they have shared the fruits of their respective crafts with American consumers for over twenty years.

Cento Fine Foods was founded in Philadelphia in 1963 as a distributor of ethnic Italian food specialties servicing the surrounding tri-state area. Passion and experience led management to a deep understanding of the intricacies of food development and ultimately drove Cento to produce a superior Italian food product under its own label in 1982. The Anna, Bellino and Little Gina's labels soon followed. Cento acquired the Ferrara and La Florentine brands bringing a variety of traditional confections to the Cento family. Most recently, we've developed the Maurizio and La Bella Valentina labels. Maurizio Artisan Pasta combines the finest Italian semolina with traditional methods of pasta production. La Bella Valentina Panettone and Pandoro are properly produced to ensure their authenticity, texture and overall quality. Cento's success will always be attributed to the original foundations of the brand, the consistent premium quality of our products and an emphasis on proactive and responsive customer service.
