Welcome to our kitchen – where we provide specialty food private label and co-manufacturing services in California.
Founded in 1990 by two chefs who were inspired by the abundance of thriving agriculture in Sonoma, California, that allowed them to create delicious sauces and soups from fresh, flavorful ingredients.
We specialize in shelf-stable pasta sauces, soups, salsas, tapenades, olive oils, and spreads. At Sonoma Specialty Foods, we take pride in the quality of our ingredients, with the vast majority of them sourced within a 3-hour radius from California tomato-country.
At Sonoma Specialty Foods, we cook like you would at home, we just use larger pots.
