Mid's Italian Sausage All Natural Pasta Sauce

Owner:Mizkan Holdings (Japan)
OriginUSA
Manufactured:USA

Mid's Pasta Sauce, originally known as Middendorf's, traces its roots back to 1938 in Navarre, Ohio. It was founded by Grace Middendorf, who gained local fame for her slow-cooked, authentic Sicilian-style pasta sauces. The brand became a staple in the Midwestern United States, known for its unique 'open-kettle' simmering process which takes hours to achieve a thick, rich consistency.

Today, the brand is manufactured in Navarre, Ohio, maintaining its heritage of US-based production. In modern ownership, Mid's True Sicilian Pasta Sauce has become a premium brand under the portfolio of Mizkan America, Inc. This ensures that while the sauce maintains its traditional family recipe and manufacturing style, it benefits from the distribution and resources of a major global food company.
