Here is our story: An Italian immigrant, John Volpi, ventured from his home in Milan in 1900 in search of the American Dream. He settled in the American heartland, which was rich in the raw materials used in his trade. He was a salumiere – a master of salami, prosciutto and all other dry cured meats – and he was determined to continue his profession in his newly adopted land. Combining his experience with irrepressible dedication, Volpi recreated the cured meats of his native Italy using prime, fresh Midwestern pork and beef plus the finest spices and seasonings. Armando Pasetti, nephew of the founder John Volpi, was sent from Italy at the tender age of fourteen to learn the trade. Upon the passing of John Volpi, Armando Pasetti became the president of Volpi Foods, Inc. in 1957. Throughout his career, Armando has kept close ties to family and friends in Italy. He learned to apply improvements in technology and equipment, but never sacrificed quality or compromised the Volpi standards of excellence. His entire life has been dedicated to constantly improve a great Italian tradition. Lorenza Pasetti, became the president of Volpi Foods, Inc. in 2002. Joined by the third generation of salumieri, Volpi continues to bring America premium Italian meats. Time, tradition and respect for the profession are still the driving forces behind the company, and the results speak for themselves – the finest Italian gourmet meat available anywhere!

The story of Absolutely Perfect Sauce & Seasoning started over 30 years ago in St. Louis Missouri. When Ken Mellow purchased his first kettle grill, the journey to creating these award winning flavors started. Ken wanted to create BBQ flavors that compliment traditional BBQ while also being exciting and innovative. After years of perfecting recipes in the backyard, Absolutely Perfect Sauce & Seasoning debuted on the BBQ competition circuit in 2006. To date, these Sauces & Seasonings have won awards at the biggest events in barbecue, both locally and on the national level. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer our family's secret award winning flavors to you. As we continue to develop new products, we draw on the foundation that Ken laid while looking for ways to raise the bar to new levels. Please enjoy these flavors in your backyard or in the heat of competition.
