Family recipe. No added preservatives. At the age of seventeen our Great Grandfather Andrew Kleptz traveled to America in 1914. Along with his hopes and dreams he brought his mother's secret recipes that had been in the Kleptz family for years. In 1935 Andrew realized his dream by opening his own restaurant. From that day forward he always insisted that only the freshest and finest ingredients be used in his sauces. Even four generations later the Kleptz sisters still maintain their great grandfather's devotion to making the highest quality pasta sauces around. But don't just take our word for it, taste the difference for yourself.
