Victoria Fine Foods Partners with Sur La Table For Artisanal Pasta Sauce Line

Victoria Fine Foods (VFF), a slow kettle-cooked pasta sauce manufacturer in the U.S. and Sur La Table have teamed up to launch a new line of artisanal pasta sauces created exclusively for the Sur La Table customer.

The line consists of the following five varieties: Organic Pomodoro Sauce, Fra Diavolo Sauce, Roasted Garlic Sauce, Vodka Sauce and Chianti Marinara Sauce.

All sauces come in 24-ounce jars and are available in Sur La Table stories nationwide, as well as on its website and in its catalog. The suggested retail price is $12-$13. All sauces, except the Vodka variety, are Non-GMO Project verified.

Just like Victoria’s premium and Organic sauce lines, the Sur La Table artisanal sauces are made with just a handful of ingredients which are featured prominently on the front of the label. The company uses ripe plum tomatoes, fresh onions, fresh garlic, fresh basil, olive oil and salt. No artificial flavors or colors are ever added.

The Sur La Table artisanal pasta sauces' rich flavor can be attributed to the quality of VFF"s tomatoes and slow kettle-cooking process. VFF's plum whole tomatoes are grown in the volcanic soil of coastal Italy, long considered the source of the world’s finest tomatoes. VFF then takes these San Marzano style tomatoes and slow cook them in small batches with fresh, hand picked basil, fresh garlic and fresh onions. The olive oil is heated, the onions are sautéed until translucent, garlic is added, and then it is cooked until fragrant. VFF then adds its ripe, whole tomatoes and simmers it for over an hour for an artisanal quality.

“This is Victoria Fine Foods’ first co-branded partnership, and we are thrilled to be launching this venture with Sur La Table,” says Tim Shanley, CEO, Victoria Fine Foods.  “Our brands and mission are very similar, with a focus on the highest quality, best-tasting ingredients and the desire to help consumers achieve Kitchen Victories every day.”
