The premier source for authentic Latino cuisine, Goya Foods is the largest, Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. Founded in 1936 by Don Prudencio Unanue and his wife Carolina, both from Spain, the Goya story is as much about the importance of family as it is about achieving the American dream.

We started as a small pastry shop in Ozone Park, Queens in 1960. Making pasta, especially tortellini, was Joseph Seviroli’s real passion. Tortellini was rare in New York at the time so he purchased a machine from Italy and started manufacturing in the basement of the pastry shop. It wasn’t long until word got out about our pasta and soon people were lining up out the door…except this time it wasn’t for pastries! Demand continued to rise as customers lined up around the store to get their hands on authentic Italian tortellini. Joseph quickly realized that the pastry shop’s basement was not suitable for rising customer demand and decided it was time to officially open a pasta shop. That led to the purchase of a nearby building in Garden City, New York, where three additional tortellini lines were added to the facility and Seviroli Foods was officially born. Today, we still use only authentic ingredients when making our pasta from scratch and everything is still made on equipment imported from Italy. One bite and you know it’s authentic.®
