Reconnecting to their family roots, the Asaro family began importing olive oil made from olives of their family in Sicily. The demand in America for Botticelli olive oil quickly outpaced their capacity and their main operation moved to a state-of-the-art facility in Puglia; Italy's olive oil production capital. Premium pasta sauces, rich vinegars, and beloved Italian specialty items were then added to their portfolio of high-quality products, allowing Botticelli to grow into a well-respected name in the Italian food industry. Botticelli Foods is still family owned and operated by CEO Salvatore Asaro, the son of founder Joseph Asaro, with the help of his family and their small, but mighty, Botticelli Foods team!
