The Zia Maria Cucina, the brand of our Quality Italian products, was created to honor our Grandmother Mary Iacobellis. She was also affectionately known as “Aunt Mary” by her extended family and friends. Aunt Mary prepared outstanding Italian cuisine using fresh ingredients from her family farm and garden. Aunt Mary was regularly in the kitchen wearing her famous apron while she cooked for family gatherings. She always welcomed everyone into the kitchen with a smile which made you feel at home. Her smile will live on with our quality Italian brands. |

Joy of the Valley was created to symbolize the Barese Region of Italy where the family of our Founder Don Saladino originated from in the 1800’s. The quality ingredients and regional flavors in Calabrese were the inspiration in creating the family sausage flavors. Don Saladino brought these family recipes, and his passion for exceptional quality, to the United States and began producing and selling his exceptional sausage products. We have made the brand “Joy of the Valley” the symbol of value and quality for our imported products from all corners of the World. |
