Operating continuously since 1885 when it imported the first Italian Peeled Tomatoes into the United States, Vitelli Foods LLC is America’s premier and oldest importer of Quality Italian Style Foods. While part of the Vitelli family in Italy was producing canned tomatoes, the New York based Vitelli family was importing those same tomatoes into the United States, creating the first vertically integrated operation in the Italian Food business. Today’s Vitelli is quite different from the Vitelli of 1885 when it served the growing Italian immigrant community in the five boroughs of New York City. Today, products imported by Vitelli, including its trademarked LUIGI VITELLI products can be found in major supermarket chains and distributors throughout the United States. Vitelli’s growth continues to be fueled by offering consumers great quality at a value price.
The most Italian of supermarket items are tomatoes and pasta, just where you’d expect to see Luigi Vitelli excel. And excel it does! As America’s first Italian Brand, Luigi Vitelli, consistently outperforms the tomato competition on the key features of color, consistency and flavor. Why? Because Vitelli’s size and reputation give it first call on Italy’s finest producers. And then there’s pasta. Luigi Vitelli practically reinvented the pasta category when it introduced its low cost imported pasta 15 years ago. Since then, there’s been no looking back. The fact that this category, once dominated by two manufacturers, is now one of the most competitive in the trade is directly attributable to the pioneering of Vitelli Foods.
