The Mezzetta legacy began over eighty years ago, in 1935, when founder Giuseppe Mezzetta immigrated from Italy to his new home in San Francisco, bringing flavors and inspiration from his homeland along the way. Today, the legacy continues on, and our passion for fine food and flavors is stronger than it has ever been. Our unwavering commitment to family recipes, premium, thoughtfully sourced, world-class ingredients and flavors is just as strong as when we opened our first storefront. We simply aren’t satisfied until we get our flavors right. That’s why Jeff Mezzetta, current CEO and great-grandson of Giuseppe, goes to great lengths to source the best ingredients, so that every Mezzetta jar is filled with joy.

Today, we’re fortunate and happy to say that our company has expanded nationally to showcase a wide variety of premium products from across the globe, like Greek peperoncini, olives, pasta sauce and other Mediterranean products. Despite our nationwide success, we are firmly a family-owned company, where everyone is an honorary Mezzetta. From our farmers in the fields, to the team on our factory floor who help to craft every jar, to the sales team who keep our shelves stocked across the nation and every loyal fan who seeks a bit of adventure in every meal. That’s how it has always been at Mezzetta, and that’s how it will always be. From generation to generation. We want every appetizer, meal, and drink to taste betta. And it’s with Mezzetta, it’s easy. Because Mezzetta Makes It Betta.
