FAIRPORT, N.Y., Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LiDestri Food and Drink, a company that specializes in contract manufacturing of food and beverage products for the consumer-packaged goods industry, announces the sale of the Francesco Rinaldi Sauce brand to Sugo Brands, LLC.

Its all-natural Italian blend of tomato, onion, garlic, imported Pecorino Romano cheese, select spices and extra-virgin olive oil, add that something extra special to the recipe. Francesco Rinaldi Sauce has no additives, preservatives, or starch, and is also gluten free and low in fat.

LiDestri Foods Francesco Rinaldi is a brand of pasta sauce with an Italian flavor. It is manufactured as the only private-label product of the independent, privately owned LiDestri Foods (formerly Cantisano Foods), which also operates as a contract food manufacturer.

Francesco Rinaldi The name came from the imagination of the brand's original owner, Edward P.

LiDestri Food and Drink has sold the Francesco Rinaldi Sauce brand to Sugo Brands, LLC, a newly formed consumer-packaged goods company looking to build on the long and successful history of the Francesco Rinaldi Sauce brand business, which was started in 1941 by Francesco Rinaldi.

The first known use of tomato sauce with pasta appears in the Italian cookbook L'Apicio moderno, by Roman chef Francesco Leonardi, edited in 1790. Italian varieties of tomato sauce range from the very simple pasta al pomodoro to the piquant puttanesca and arrabbiata sauces.

Technically, pasta sauce is any sauce typically paired with pasta - like pesto, bolognese, Alfredo, and marinara as well. But people usually think of a more robust and flavorful tomato sauce as classic "pasta sauce." There are really no hard-and-fast rules on what can simply be called pasta sauce.

LiDestri's rich heritage dates back to its founding in 1975 as Cantisano Foods by Ralph Cantisano, whose family previously founded and sold the Ragu Packing Company. By 1976, LiDestri was being managed by its current owner, Giovanni LiDestri, whom Cantisano selected as his protégé from the Ragu production floor.

A variation of Francis, Francesca, and Franciscus, this baby name means "Frenchman" or "free man." Though the meaning suggests that baby is from France, many admirers of French culture have also used this attractive name in countries like the United States and Brazil.
