From the small “Fara San Martino Factory”, which started out as a simple mill, to a “world Factory”: De Cecco took on this great challenge and won. A goal achieved thanks to the ability to keep the great traditions of a family company alive without ever giving up on your dreams and the determination to push boundaries. Since 1886, the De Cecco family has guaranteed continuity by handing down their knowledge from father to son and placing great importance on every product. Their active participation in company life and a special dedication to their employees has made the factory into one big family. De Cecco has always kept an eye on the times and responded swiftly to all national and international needs, making its homeland proud. Abruzzo, where the heart of production is still based, saw the birth of De Cecco, saw it grow and now watches it bring excellent pasta to tables all over the world. But in the future even further away destinations await and De Cecco must focus on the horizon. That is why De Cecco is integrated its offer with new lines of products. In 1986 the Olive Oil Company was founded, and would soon be followed by lines of rice, potato gnocchi, tomato products and sauces, balsamic vinegar of Modena, flours, organic products and bread substitutes: in short, everything you need for a good Italian meal.

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. We are proud to present our distinctive line of over 1,000 Italian style products. Cento Fine Foods has grown to become the premier producer, importer and distributor of Italian food in the United States. A family owned and operated company for three generations, Cento is a mix of technology and tradition combined with youth and experience - truly the unparalleled leader in the industry.
