Ragú Pizza Homemade Style Sauce

Ragú is one of the most recognizable brands of pasta and pizza sauces in the United States, with a history dating back to 1937. The brand was founded by Assunta Cantisano in Rochester, New York, who began selling her authentic Italian family recipe from her front porch during the Great Depression. The brand's signature taste profile has made it a staple in American households for decades.

Over the years, the brand transitioned from a small family business to a corporate powerhouse. It was owned by Unilever for a significant period before being acquired by the Mizkan Group in 2014. Today, Ragú products are primarily manufactured in the United States, specifically at facilities in locations such as Owensboro, Kentucky, to serve the North American market.

As of 2024 and beyond, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Mizkan Group, a major Japanese food company known for its vinegars and sauces. This cross-continental ownership allows the brand to maintain its American heritage while benefiting from the global supply chain and distribution expertise of its Japanese parent company.
