Carbone Fine Food has been gaining significant attention as of late. The company recently announced its ranking as one of the fastest-growing pasta sauce brands in America, becoming one of the top 10 overall brands in the category in just two years. This follows many exciting developments in 2023, including the national rollout of its flagship Spicy Vodka sauce, major press coverage from CBS Sunday Morning to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and the launch of its All That. At Home national media campaign.
“This milestone is a testament to the quality of our products and the power of the Carbone brand built from its continued success in the culinary world,” said Eric Skae, Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve worked incredibly hard to draw a strong connection between what Chef Mario has built at his legendary namesake restaurant and this sauce that anyone can buy and easily cook at home, and consumers are clearly taking notice.”
The company was co-founded in 2021 by Chef and Restaurateur, Mario Carbone—a Founder of the powerhouse international restaurant group, Major Food Group, and proprietor of the world-famous culinary destination and celebrity haunt, Carbone. According to a press release, Carbone’s restaurant-quality sauces use hand-picked tomatoes from the unique volcanic soil in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius, in the San Marzano region of Italy.
In Q1 of 2024, Carbone Fine Food will expand into Walmart and Costco, with nationwide availability in more than 24,000 stores, and kick off a series of exciting product launches with the release of Alfredo and Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauces.
Under the leadership of Skae—formerly CEO of RAO’s—Carbone Fine Food has sustained continued double-digit growth over its two years as a brand. The company has responded to heightened demand for premium, restaurant-quality taste with a brand that appeals and relates to modern, millennial consumers. The brand has also effectively harnessed organic celebrity support and launched successful social influencer campaigns.
Alongside Spicy Vodka in 2023, Carbone Fine Food also released two new pizza sauces, one Original and one Spicy version, which joined its roster of seven other SKUs.
Stay tuned to see this brand’s continued growth!
