Napolina Canned Tomatoes

Napolina is a well-established brand synonymous with authentic Italian cooking, particularly recognized for its range of canned tomatoes, pasta, and olive oils. The brand's origin dates back to 1965 when it was founded by Peter Knowles, an entrepreneur who was inspired by the high-quality produce of Naples during his travels. Since its inception, Napolina has focused on bringing the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine to international markets, primarily the United Kingdom.

Today, the brand maintains its commitment to Italian heritage by sourcing nearly all its tomato products from Italian growers. The processing and canning typically occur in Italy to ensure the freshness and quality associated with San Marzano and Roma tomato varieties. Throughout its history, the brand has seen several shifts in ownership before becoming a flagship label in the portfolio of major food conglomerates, ensuring its widespread availability in global supermarkets.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Italian culinary traditions, it is currently owned and managed by Princes Limited. Princes is a major food and drink group that oversees manufacturing and distribution throughout Europe. This structure allows Napolina to serve as a bridge between traditional Italian agriculture and modern retail distribution networks.
