Stanislaus Food Products

About

For over 80 years, Stanislaus Food Products has been a family-owned and operated company rooted in the rich traditions of Italian-American food culture. Founded in 1942 by Ralph and Edna Quartaroli, the company began as a small operation in a rented shed with borrowed equipment, powered by rented steam locomotives. Today, this Central Valley of California institution continues its commitment to crafting the finest Italian-style tomatoes and sauces for independent restaurants and pizzerias across the United States and Canada. As a tight-knit family business, Stanislaus considers its restaurateur customers as members of their extended family. The company operates on core values of Superior Quality, Dependability, Fairness To All, Long-Loyal Relationships, and Personalized Service. Their products are packed fresh during a 70-75 day harvest season using locally grown tomatoes sourced within two hours of their Modesto cannery. Stanislaus is the only California tomato packer to pay bonuses for tomatoes based on superior canning quality, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to excellence. With over 500 seasonal and full-time employees, many of whom have been with the company for 25+ years, Stanislaus Food Products truly embodies the spirit of quality-first family farming and food production.
