Our story begins two generations ago, when our grandparents, Nunzio and Giovanna, decided to produce fruit and vegetable products in Sarno, known for being the hometown to the San Marzano tomato. They gradually transformed their plan into a family business whose products reached the United States and Australia. The business then passed to their sons who kept working by their parents’ mission to bring high quality products to food lovers worldwide. However, in the early 80’s the entire production facility was struck by a tremendous earthquake and the business was hardly hit and struggled to recover. After more than 50 years of activity, the three brothers were forced to close the business.

During a visit to our family in San Diego in the year 2004, we were gifted with a box containing papers and labels of our grandparents’ products, once sold in American stores. Since then we have been thinking about reviving that old mission that moved our grandparents many decades ago. So we created Okosta Brands, with the objective to select high quality, naturally healthy food and bring them to American food lovers, just like our grandparents did.
