Anna’s Simply Gourmet uses the time honored traditions of “Old World Italy”;  in other words my mother Anna's Schettino D'Urso.  Anna was to a kitchen what a tomato is to sauce.  Being the beneficiary of many years learning from her, that means no short-cuts or fillers. Our company chooses only premium ingredients that meets those traditions, which we then prepared in a fashion similar to how you prepare sauces in your own kitchen. This important step is one reason why we are becoming the sauce consumers are choosing. How we cook our sauces is something we can’t disclose, but we can say that we take those fine ingredients and introduce them to the cooking process at critical times. This allows the ingredients to create a certain synergy that results in the just out of the kitchen taste, namely, “it’s Italian!” Our dedication to quality-consistent-authentic products is just another reason why we are on the way to being considered the “your choice”. For us, all the extra effort in the development and making of our sauces has already resulted in our winning “first place” in the Connecticut Specialty Food Association Sauce Tasting Competition. This information is useful when comparing our sauces to the products you currently may choose. Our company has an acumen towards detail, with a hands-on approach, that results in “quality, consistent” products each and every time.
