Despar Polpa Fine

Despar Polpa Fine is a high-quality finely chopped tomato pulp produced specifically for the Italian retail market under the Despar private label. The product is manufactured using 100% Italian tomatoes, typically processed by specialized partners like Feger di Gerardo Ferraioli S.p.A. based in Angri, Campania, a region renowned for its tomato heritage.

The brand name 'Despar' is an original variant of the international 'SPAR' brand. The name SPAR itself originated in the Netherlands in 1932 as an acronym (DESPAR) for 'Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig.' While much of the world shortened the name to SPAR, the Italian market retained the original 'Despar' branding.

Ownership of the brand in Italy is managed through Despar Italia, a consortium of six major regional retail companies. As of 2026, the brand continues to be a staple in the Italian grocery landscape, operating under a licensing model from SPAR International, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This structure allows the brand to maintain a deep local connection while benefiting from a global distribution and supply network.
