Cento was founded in Philadelphia in 1963, as a distributor of ethnic Italian food specialties servicing the surrounding tri-state area. Passion and experience led management to a deep understanding of the intricacies of food development and ultimately drove Cento to produce a superior Italian food product under its own label in 1982. Each Cento product is produced to our precise specifications and with the finest ingredients available. While preserving the culinary heritage of old world authentic Italian style food products, Cento continues to stay abreast of the food industry"s rapid technological advances and has become the premier Italian food distributor, importer, and producer in the United States today.
