Il Maestro - Peter Ingrasselino

From his grandmother's kitchen to your table.

Chef Peter Ingrasselino's earliest memory is standing beside his grandmother at her New Jersey stove, learning to fold tomato into olive oil with patience. From dishwasher at fourteen to Executive Chef abroad, he spent thirty years carrying that lesson through seventeen world cuisines — and back to the same Italian table.

Today, every jar of INGRASSELINO® is a thirty-year recipe, made slowly, the Old World way.
