Mutti Pelati Mediterranei peeled tomatoes

Mutti is an iconic Italian brand that has become synonymous with premium tomato products worldwide. Founded in 1899 by Callisto and Marcellino Mutti in the heart of Italy's 'Food Valley' near Parma, the company began as a small family-run preservation business. Over the decades, it has remained fiercely independent and family-owned, currently led by the fourth generation of the family. The brand is famous for its 'two lions' logo, which was originally registered in 1911 to help consumers recognize the brand's quality in an era of high illiteracy.

Manufacturing for Mutti is concentrated in Italy to ensure the shortest possible time between harvest and processing. While the company's historic headquarters and primary facilities are in Montechiarugolo (Parma), they also operate a specialized facility in Southern Italy (Salerno) to process regional varieties like the Pelati (peeled tomatoes) shown here. The brand distinguishes itself by using 100% Italian tomatoes and avoiding additives, focusing instead on advanced preservation techniques and sustainable farming partnerships with local growers.
