About Bianco DiNapoli
- Based in
- California
- Founded
- 2010
- Known for
- organic California canned tomatoes and sauces
Rob DiNapoli comes from a canning family. His grandfather Frank DiNapoli co-founded Sun Garden Packing Co. in San Jose, California, which packed tomatoes, peaches, apricots and asparagus, and Rob ran it from 1983 until the family sold the cannery in 2002. Chris Bianco is the chef behind Pizzeria Bianco. The two met in 2009 and made the brand official in the summer of 2010.
The tomatoes are grown organically by California farmers, without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and are vine-ripened and harvested in Northern California. The first retail can came out in 2012, and the brand's artwork is an original painting by Chris's father, Leonard Bianco.
Heat one of the sauces and toss it with pasta, or use it under eggs, meatballs or eggplant.
