Cento Fine Foods was founded in Philadelphia in 1963 as a distributor of ethnic Italian food specialties servicing the surrounding tri-state area. Passion and experience led management to a deep understanding of the intricacies of food development and ultimately drove Cento to produce a superior Italian food product under its own label in 1982. The Anna, Bellino and Little Gina's labels soon followed. Cento acquired the Ferrara and La Florentine brands bringing a variety of traditional confections to the Cento family. Most recently, we've developed the Maurizio and La Bella Valentina labels. Maurizio Artisan Pasta combines the finest Italian semolina with traditional methods of pasta production. La Bella Valentina Panettone and Pandoro are properly produced to ensure their authenticity, texture and overall quality. Cento's success will always be attributed to the original foundations of the brand, the consistent premium quality of our products and an emphasis on proactive and responsive customer service. We are proud to present our distinctive line of over 1,000 Italian style products. Cento Fine Foods has grown to become the premier producer, importer and distributor of Italian food in the United States. A family owned and operated company for three generations, Cento is a mix of technology and tradition combined with youth and experience - truly the unparalleled leader in the industry.
