Dolmio Bolognese Original

Dolmio is a prominent global brand of pasta sauces, best known for its Italian-inspired flavors. The brand's journey began in Australia in 1985, where it was originally launched under the name 'Alora' by Anna Ciccone and marketed by Masterfoods. After a successful test launch in Scotland that same year, the brand was renamed Dolmio in 1986 for the UK market and eventually rolled out globally under that name by 1989.

Today, Dolmio is a core part of the Mars Food & Nutrition portfolio, a segment of the American multinational Mars, Incorporated. While the brand emphasizes Italian culinary heritage, the products are manufactured in several locations to serve local markets, including facilities in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Mars, Incorporated remains a private, family-owned business headquartered in McLean, Virginia. It is one of the world's largest food companies, managed by the Mars family through multiple generations. The brand continues to be a staple in many households, often recognized by its iconic 'Dolmio Family' puppets used in its long-running advertising campaigns.
