Coppola Foods

Coppola Foods is a fourth-generation Italian family food company with roots dating back to 1903 in Salerno, Southern Italy, and is recognized as one of the oldest and leading tomato companies in Italy. Built on over a century of expertise in tomato cultivation, processing, and distribution, the company has established itself as a reference point for premium Italian tomato products in international markets. Operating as a premium food manufacturer and marketer, Coppola Foods specializes in authentic Italian food products that align with the principles of the Mediterranean diet.

Its product portfolio spans six core categories: tomatoes, sauces and soups; legumes and legume-based products; vegetables and olives; condiments and seasonings; grains and grain-based products; and nut butters, spreads and nut-based products. All products are manufactured in Italy and positioned around health, nutrition, and authenticity. The company places strong emphasis on non-GMO ingredients, transparent sourcing, and fully traceable manufacturing processes. Products are crafted using premium ingredients and innovative, sustainable packaging solutions, with an overarching mission of making healthier food choices more accessible across global markets.

Coppola Foods targets both retail and foodservice channels, with a particular focus on international markets where Italian and Mediterranean food products have strong consumer demand.

Among its notable innovations is the Fabalous brand, which won the Better for You Innovative Product of the Year award at the Food Matters Live Awards in London. The flagship Fabalous product is an organic cocoa and hazelnut chickpea spread — a first-in-category product whose base ingredient is chickpeas rather than sugar or sweeteners. Each jar contains 32% chickpeas, delivers 57% less sugar and 81% more protein compared to leading chocolate spread brands. The chickpea base is produced via a proprietary, patent-pending production process. The product is vegan, plant-based, and free from soy, gluten, and palm oil, making it suitable for high-protein and low-sugar diets.

Coppola Foods actively invests in product innovation and category disruption, developing differentiated offerings under distinct brand identities. The company’s approach involves combining its deep-rooted expertise in tomatoes and Italian pantry staples with evolving consumer trends, identifying product segments aligned with health and Mediterranean heritage, and enhancing them to create competitive advantages in global markets. Its manufacturing capabilities emphasize food safety, environmental responsibility, and supply chain traceability. The business serves customers seeking premium, ethically sourced Italian food products across both branded and market-facing channels.
