It’s in the sauce

At the foot of Mount Vesuvius in the Campania region of southern Italy sits a tomato farm of the San Marzano variety, the kind that thrives in a sun-drenched and arid environment.

A parcel of family-run land passed down from generation-to-generation, now run by Bedford Hills business owner Neil Fusco’s cousins, is frequented yearly by the chef.

The amount of rain, the strength of the sunlight – all trickle down into the very bottles of cooking and pasta sauces he produces here.

A native of Italy, Fusco experimented with his first line of cooking sauces for Cucina Antica Foods Corp. when he owned and operated restaurant Amalfi in Briarcliff Manor.

“I started working on the Cucina line of sauces back in 1996 and went to local supermarkets to see what else was out there,” Fusco said. “I sold the restaurant in 2003 and decided to go full time with the sauce.”

Fusco comes from a lineage that embraces food as a way of life, one that makes family a priority. His brother and sister own Campagna Pizzeria Restaurant in Shrub Oak.

I went to your website since I just am on my second jar of sauce (tomato basil) to say I LOVE THIS SAUCE. First commercial pasta sauce that tastes great without all the added sugar and fats. I really think you are doing a great job !!! I buy it at Whole Foods where they sell all three types. I can't wait to see what friends say cause I am serving it this weekend. Great job and I love your stuff. If you ever do a coupon for it let me know, Stacy
