Our Sauce was born from the Villa Valenti Restaurant, a Rensselaer County landmark for over fifty years and renown for its pasta sauce. The sauce-making runs even deeper than this. Our grandfather owned a landmark Italian Restaurant in Troy, New York, The Volcano, which was also renown for its sauce. What started us bottling our sauce was the fact that we were consumed by our customers saying, “you should bottle your sauce”. So we did! Since then, our sauce has been extremely well received, by winning blind taste tests and engaging in the sponsorship of Prevent Child Abuse  (one of the finest charities in the world), which gave us added appeal. We then realized we have a sauce that has a remarkable price, quality, and marketing appeal. The Prevent Child Abuse Logo is prominently and proudly displayed on the bottle. We have three sauces ... Traditional, Primavera, and Hot and Spicy. My grandfather would have been proud.

The Healthy Benefits of Tomatoes!

We've all wondered at some time, whether the amazing tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. But one thing we know for sure is that tomatoes and the numerous ingredients they provide, and processed tomato products do play a major role in fighting disease, in addition to adding zest and color to our diet.

The antioxidant lycopene is found in fresh and processed tomato products and has been the subject of much research about the possible health benefits of tomatoes and tomato products.

The updated version of Unlock the Power of Lycopene, originally published in 2001, contains all you need to know about the importance of nutrition in maintaining good health, and how antioxidants such as lycopene fight destructive "free radicals". Unlock the Power of Lycopene goes on to provide many fascinating facts about the tomato, to help us understand why and how it came to play such an important role in menus all over the world.

You can pick up a copy of this interesting book the next time you're at the Villa.
