The Paesana Tradition

Rather than brandish a flashy logo on a gigantic awning, Paesana chose instead to fly under the radar, incorporating a measure of mystery to their location. “That was how our father wanted things,” laughs Lou Scaramelli IV, President of Paesana. “That was the old school mentality.” Lou and his sister Jacqueline Scaramelli-Massaro run the storied franchise that is Paesana with the same discipline and integrity their ancestors prided themselves on.”

In many ways, their father’s secrecy remains as Paesana is a national leader in manufacturing some of the most well-known sauces in the world. But good luck trying to figure out exactly which brands are manufactured by Paesana. “These are still closely held family secrets,” explains Jacqueline. For that matter, so is our process. There’s a reason we’re the leader in the industry and still the best kept secret. It’s how we were brought up and our clients and our customers trust us implicitly as a result.”

Paesana’s sauces and line of gourmet, specialty condiments are considered among the foremost premium brands in the country. And while outwardly they portray a small business profile, the operation is tremendous and surprisingly sophisticated. “Quality is everything,” explains Lou. “When you have something the public literally consumes and enjoys, it carries an enormous responsibility. It starts in the warehouse and manufacturing facility and ends on dinner tables around the country and everywhere in between.”

“We’re blessed,” says Lou. “Every day we work with talented chefs and artists to produce something that everyone loves. If you think about the importance of communing around food it’s actually pretty humbling. Family gatherings, important meetings, the biggest of life’s celebrations are all centered around food and we get to play a part in it. What could be better?”

Nothing, Lou.
Food is life.
And Paesana means friendship and warmth.
Truly ingredients for a happy life.
