Cirio Polpa Fine chopped tomatoes

Cirio is one of Italy's most iconic food brands, renowned for its high-quality tomato products. Founded in 1856 by Francesco Cirio in Turin, the company pioneered advanced food preservation techniques, which allowed it to become a global exporter of Italian produce early in its history. The 'Polpa Fine' product is made from 100% Italian tomatoes, typically processed within 24 hours of being picked to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.

Since 2004, the brand has been owned by Conserve Italia, a massive agricultural cooperative based in San Lazzaro di Savena, Italy. This ownership structure is unique as it is composed of over 14,000 farming companies, ensuring a direct link between the farmers and the final product. Production is concentrated in Italy, specifically in regions such as Emilia-Romagna, Puglia, and Tuscany, where the tomatoes are grown and canned to maintain the brand's 'Made in Italy' heritage.
