Some brands simply exist, and some brands define a category. Rodolfi Mansueto clearly belongs to the second group. With over 125 years of history at the heart of Italy's Food Valley, this family-run company from Parma has turned tomatoes into an art form.

A Story That Begins in 1896

It all began in the small workshop of Remigio Rodolfi in San Pancrazio, a village in the province of Parma. It was his son Mansueto who industrialized the business in Ozzano Taro, steering the company through two world wars with remarkable tenacity. Four generations later, the Rodolfi family is still at the helm.

The company was a pioneer on several fronts: the first to bring a tomato sauce in a tube to Italian pantries — the iconic Ortolina, born in 1936 from a homemade recipe by Mansueto's wife, Ida — and one of the first to move into organic production.

Parma Tomatoes: An Ingredient Like No Other

Parma isn't famous only for its ham or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Its territory, right in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, is also the epicenter of Italy's finest tomato production. The mild continental climate, clay soils and local farming tradition create the perfect conditions for an exceptionally sweet, concentrated tomato.

Rodolfi works exclusively with 100% Italian tomatoes, harvested at exactly the right point of ripeness. The processing season lasts just two months in summer, when the fruit is at its very best. This fast, intensive process is what guarantees the fresh, authentic flavor that sets Rodolfi products apart from any industrial alternative.
