America's Oldest Family Saucemaker (DelGrosso Foods is America's oldest major family-owned producer of pasta sauce. A family tradition since 1914, incorporated in 1947.). For birthdays, graduations, and other celebrations, Uncle Joe makes the best vodka sauce you will find. As the youngest in a large Italian family, Joe always had to prove himself. When he served the recipe for the first time, it became an instant family favorite.
