Former Rao’s CEO is Behind New Fast Growing Pasta Sauce Carbone
New York, NY — Carbone Fine Food reigns as the fastest growing pasta sauce in America and has quickly become one of the top ten overall brands in the category in just 2 years. The news arrives on the heels of a banner 2023 for the brand that saw the national rollout of its flagship Spicy Vodka sauce, major press coverage from CBS Sunday Morning to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the launch of its “All That. At Home” national media campaign.
Co-Founded in 2021 by Chef and Restaurateur, Mario Carbone—a Founder of the powerhouse international restaurant group, Major Food Group, and proprietor of the world-famous culinary destination and celebrity haunt, Carbone—Carbone Fine Food’s restaurant-quality sauces use hand-picked tomatoes from the unique volcanic soil in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius, in the San Marzano region of Italy.
In Q1 of 2024, Carbone Fine Food will expand into Walmart and Costco, with nationwide availability in more than 24,000 stores, and kick-off a series of exciting product launches with the release of Alfredo and Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauces.
“This milestone is a testament to the quality of our products and the power of the Carbone brand built from its continued success in the culinary world,” said Eric Skae, CEO of Carbone Fine Food. ”We’ve worked incredibly hard to draw a strong connection between what Chef Mario has built at his legendary namesake restaurant and this sauce that anyone can buy and easily cook at home, and consumers are clearly taking notice.”
Under the leadership of Skae—formerly CEO of RAO’s—Carbone Fine Food’s ascendancy has been meteoric, sustaining continued double-digit growth over its’ two years as a brand. To accomplish this, they have responded to heightened demand for premium, restaurant-quality taste with a brand that appeals and relates to modern, millennial consumers. They have also effectively harnessed organic celebrity support and launched successful social influencer campaigns, organically infusing both into the brand DNA.
Alongside Spicy Vodka in 2023, Carbone Fine Food also released two new pizza sauces, one Original and one Spicy version, which joined its roster of seven other SKUs.
Consumers can purchase all Carbone Fine Food products at retailers nationwide and online at both Amazon and https://carbonefinefood.com/.
