Catelli Sélection du Jardin Pasta Sauce

Catelli is a storied household name in Canada, known predominantly for its high-quality pasta and shelf-stable sauces. The brand was founded in Montreal in 1867 by Carlo Onorato Catelli, an Italian immigrant who introduced traditional Italian pasta manufacturing to the Canadian market. Over more than a century and a half, the brand evolved into a national leader in the grocery sector.

While the brand has deep Canadian roots, its ownership has transitioned through major international food conglomerates. After being part of the Spanish Ebro Foods group for many years, the Catelli pasta and sauce portfolio was acquired by the Barilla Group, the world's leading pasta manufacturer based in Italy. Today, most Catelli products, including the Sélection du Jardin sauces, are produced within Canada to serve the North American market, though they fall under the corporate umbrella of Barilla.

The Sélection du Jardin line specifically highlights vegetable-forward recipes, often featuring blends of six vegetables with classic flavor bases like garlic and onion. This product line emphasizes health-conscious features such as the absence of preservatives and low fat content, maintaining its position as a staple in Canadian pantries.
