In 1988, Angelo Parente founded his company near San Severo – driven by his love for his homeland, Apulia, and with a clear vision to keep the region’s culinary tradition alive through local ingredients and authentic flavors.
The Parente range offers a diverse selection of specialties from traditional Apulian cuisine:
 
  
Pickled vegetables
Grilled vegetables and antipasti – such as artichokes, onions, eggplants, or zucchini – preserved in high-quality olive oil.

  
Spreads
Creamy compositions made from regional vegetables, olives, chili peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes.
 
  
Tomato sauces
Ready-made sauces such as Pomodoro e Basilico, Arrabbiata, or Ortolana – ideal for quick and flavorful preparation.
 
  
Olives / Capers
Regional olive varieties such as Bella di Cerignola or Leccino – preserved either in oil or brine – and capers, traditionally cured in salt or brine.
 
Parente products stand for freshness, authenticity, and the highest quality ingredients.
They are processed as soon as possible after harvest to preserve their organoleptic properties – taste, aroma, color, and texture – in the best possible way.
