Rao's Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce

Rao's Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce is a premium pasta sauce celebrated for its authentic Italian heritage and commitment to high-quality ingredients. Originating from the legendary Rao's restaurant in New York City, which opened in 1896, the brand was created to share the restaurant's signature marinara and specialized sauces with a wider audience. The sauce is famously produced and imported from Italy, utilizing slow-cooking methods and slow-grown Italian tomatoes to maintain a rich, homemade flavor.

In recent years, the brand underwent significant corporate transitions. Originally established as Rao's Specialty Foods, it was acquired by Sovos Brands in 2017. Following a major industry merger, Campbell Soup Company completed the acquisition of Sovos Brands in 2024. Today, Rao's Homemade operates as a marquee brand within the Campbell Soup Company portfolio, maintaining its premium positioning while benefiting from the global distribution network of its American parent company.
