Saclà arrived in Australia in 1978 imported by Conga Foods, a company with a long Italian heritage specializing in gourmet Mediterranean foods and along with Saclà was responsible for providing the new Australians, delights from their homeland.
Australia’s short history was born upon migration, over the last 200 years, people have journeyed from all over the world to resettle in this distant land most notably the new Italians who endured incredible hardships to forge successful lives from nothing and helped Australia to become what it is today.
By the mid nineteenth century, Italians had begun to be recognized as a growing proportion of the Australian population. For a long time the only way to enjoy the fruits of Italy was by growing and producing their own, maintaining the traditions of their homeland regions with the limited ingredients they could get their hands on.
In turn the Italian migrant’s influence on Australia’s cuisine had a deep and a profound effect, they made their mark by showing Australians about the pleasures of life at and beyond the table – through food, wine, conversation, art and music. Which was very different to that of the predominant Anglo Celtic population amongst who they were to makes their lives.
Standing for wholesomeness and quality Saclà products have their proud origins in the gastronomic region of Piemonte, Northern Italy, an area rich in natural resources. Since 1939 the Ercole family have owned and operated Saclà, their success being due to premium quality products that are completely authentic and from the finest and freshest Mediterranean ingredients.
Today second and third generation Australian Italians who gained their appreciation for Italian food from their grandparents home cooking can now enjoy the same quality with the added bonus of convenience through Saclà’s range of pasta sauces, pesto’s, antipastos, pickled vegetables, and tapenades right here in the Australia. |
