Made in NY since 1980
In 1970, Andrea Ceriello arrived from Naples. He spoke no English, but had a farmer’s worth ethic, a little bit of business education, and determination to succeed. He began working in Brooklyn pork stores, including the legendary A&S Pork Store. After nine years in A&S stores from Brooklyn to Staten Island, Andy opened his own shop in Williston Park in 1980.
What started as a 400-square-foot traditional pork store grew into Ceriello Fine Foods—a destination for prime meats, handmade sausages, freshly prepared foods and imported specialties. The Ceriello name spread across Long Island through licensed locations and expanded to Grand Central Terminal in 1999, bringing quality Italian foods to the heart of Manhattan.
Today, as a second-generation family business led by Andy's daughter Tina, Ceriello Fine Foods continues the legacy with uncompromising craft, a family of customers spanning generations, and the bontà of a laden table.
Frequently asked question
Probably within a week. Overnight or Two-Day Shipping are the speeds that get raw products to you safely. They do not indicate the speed with which we pack our orders. We are not Amazon. It takes us about 3-5 business days to ship an order.
See above--we're not Amazon. Even though we ship dozens of packages a week, it's not enough to qualify for the discounts that the big companies get. Unfortunately, the items we ship are either heavy and fragile (sauce & dressing) or perishable (meat and salami). This also means a lot of packing materials and a high cost for shipping services. The price you see at checkout is what FedEx or UPS charge us. We do not add any additional charges to the shipping.
Our sauces are good for several years in the jar and have no official expiration date. If you can read the purple code on the bottom of your bottle, the first two numbers are the year of manufacture. If you are within 2 calendar years of that time, your product is definitely within its best by period. We hold bottles as long as 5 years to test and observe. After about 36 months, they are still safe, but are not of the best quality.
You'll always want to make sure that the lid is intact and free of rust, and you'll want to make sure that there's no strong lemony or citrus smell from your bottle. Both are signs that the product seal has been damaged.
It's always recommended that you heat your sauces past 120 degrees on the stovetop before using. Jars should be refrigerated after opening, and should keep open in the refrigerator for one week.
Yes--we know it's a pain, but we have a limited choice of lids, and they're all made to screw on by machine. We put ours on by hand, and that actually seals them more tightly.
The best thing to do is to secure the jar well so it can't slide around. (You can lay it on a dish towel.) Then, whack the corner of the lid with a heavy utensil like a big wooden spoon or the steel from your knife block. If you can put a dent in the corner of the lid, you will break the seal, and it will open easily. Be careful not to smash the jar or send it flying. Slapping the bottom (like a Snapple bottle), sometimes helps, too. And keep your jar refrigerated after opening.
