Q: Chef Otto, how can we eat the foods we love and still be healthy?
A: Using tomato products in your everyday cooking can really ramp up the nutrition in your family’s favorite comfort foods. If you’re looking for an easy way to add flavor and a healthy appeal to your favorite gravy for instance, simply add some Dei Fratelli tomato sauce. It’ll stretch the amount of gravy you have and each serving will be naturally diluted with a powerful, flavorful appeal!

Crafting that great Dei Fratelli taste you’ve come to love begins well before our premium tomatoes are plucked from the vine. Before it gets placed on your dinner table, the Dei Fratelli team agonizes over seedling varieties, our processes and our relationships with local farmers (canning, preserving and passion). We select only the very best tomatoes possible for each product within our line. We think your family is worth it ... and know you’d agree.
All Dei Fratelli products come from seedlings that we germinate ourselves ... in our own greenhouses. The seedlings are then planted on local family farms that have grown tomatoes for multiple generations. 49% of the tomato farms are within 10 miles of a Dei Fratelli processing plant. All farms in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan are within 50 miles of a processing plant.
