Ready refueling from Italy
The unique rights to produce Mutti tomato-garlic pizza sauce belong to the company of the same name.
The first mention of the company dates back to 1850, when the Italian Giovanni Mutti was the first in Italy to cultivate the principle of organic farming on his farm, minimizing the use of chemicals and fertilizers. Giovanni advocated the natural regeneration of the soil through planting various plants and avoiding monocultures.
The case of Giovanni was continued by his nephew - Marcellino Mutti, and his brother - Callisto. In 1899, they founded their company. At that time, the company sold exclusively fresh vegetables and fruits.
The development of the company was changed by Hugo Mutti - the son of Marcellino. It was he who in 1909 proposed to build a small factory producing canned food on the territory of the family enterprise. Then the famous tomato paste first saw the light of day.
Organic Tomato Paste
More than a hundred years have passed since the founding of the company, but the descendants of Giovanni still sacredly honor his traditions: a minimum of fertilizer - a maximum of the sun. The company prides itself on its high-quality bio-product.
Today, the Mutti range of canned food is presented not only by the world-famous tomato pizza sauce, but also by all kinds of tomato pastes of different concentrations, canned tomatoes in their own juice of different varieties.
