Classico Fire-Roasted Tomato & Garlic Pasta Sauce

Classico is a widely recognized brand of pasta sauces that draws its inspiration from the culinary traditions of various regions in Italy. Originally launched in the 1980s by Prince Company, the brand was built on the philosophy of bringing authentic, high-quality Italian flavors to the North American market through distinct recipes categorized by Italian cities and regions.

While the branding evokes the heritage of Italy, the products are primarily manufactured in North America to serve regional markets. In Canada and the United States, production is typically managed across several facilities within the corporate network of its parent company.

The brand has undergone several ownership changes over the decades. Today, it is part of the extensive portfolio of the Kraft Heinz Company. This multinational food giant, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, manages Classico with a focus on premium shelf-stable sauces. In the Canadian market, the brand is distributed through Kraft Heinz Canada ULC.
