Homemade sauce: from the trunk of a car to the top of the world

Ragú® was founded in 1937 by Giovanni and Assunta Contisano. They brought their homemade recipe with them when they moved from Italy to America. They started selling the homemade sauce out of the trunk of their car, and eventually opened the first Ragú® plant in their backyard in Rochester, New York.

In 1971, Ragú® was the very first jarred pasta sauce available nationally and it has been the market leader ever since. That original recipe created by the Contisano family is almost identical to the Ragú® Old World Style® sauce you see on the shelf today.

In addition to being the first to bring jarred sauce to the masses, Ragú® has also had a long history of innovations and "firsts":

• First line of "chunky" sauces (Chunky) – introduced in 1983
• First line of shelf-stable real cheese sauces (Cheesy) – introduced in 1997
• First mainstream Organic pasta sauce (Ragú® Organic) – introduced in 2005
