The birth of a company small or large represents a very passionate event and maybe a little romantic too. With the tradition of a farmer, and a respect for simple, natural foods, Andrea Ceriello founded his company, Ceriello Fine Foods, in 1973. Its purpose was to provide an array of fine foods to its discerning clients by focusing on one-of-a-kind imports, fresh local products, first quality grocery.
What started as a small, New york store has grown to be a national brand with five stores in the New York Metro area, as well as New Jersey, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Newport News (Virginia), opening soon in Memphis, and a website which ships nationwide.
As innovators in the industry we were the first to bottle vodka sauce. Without compromising the natural taste and minding the same concept and belief that got us here in the first place we created a full line of flavorful sauces. In an era of robots and automatic lines, Ceriello Sauces are created the old-fashioned way. From crushing world famous Italian Imported San Marzano tomatoes by hand to maintain the natural tartness, to the chopping of the sun-kissed sweet fresh basil, and the marriage of the pungent garlic with other spices topping with the sweet aroma of Spanish onions slow cook in a hand-stirred pot and to the finish of putting a little hat on every jar; the results are stunning!
Today our Ceriello brand sauces are available in the most discriminating markets and specialty shops, where the customer shares our eye for quality. It is our goal to have the most respected product in the marketplace by never compromising our belief in a natural product and producing everything with a pinch of pride in our name and the products it goes on.
