As far back as the 1800s, members of the Ursini family were trusted experts in olive growing, sought out by landowners for their expertise in caring for the groves. That knowledge has been passed down through the generations, and today Ursini is celebrated above all for its extra virgin olive oils. The same expertise shapes a creative collection of pasta sauces and pestos, each one built on a generous measure of that exceptional oil.

Pasta Sauces
Made in Abruzzo
Ursini is based in Fossacesia, in Abruzzo, a region on Italy's Adriatic coast where green hills roll down from the mountains toward the sea. It's a landscape of olive groves and vegetable gardens, where good food starts with simple, honest ingredients. The family's work is rooted in this land and in a deep respect for its flavors.
A Master of Olive Oil
In 1991, Giuseppe Ursini was welcomed into the Guild of Master Olive Oil Makers, an association dating back to the 14th century and dedicated to protecting, improving and sharing the craft of olive oil. That expertise is the foundation of every Ursini sauce, where a generous measure of extra virgin olive oil brings depth, richness and balance.
Sauces with Character
While olive oil remains the heart of the business, Ursini's sauces are where the family's creativity shines. The collection includes classic tomato sauces, delicate white sauces and fragrant pestos, all developed by the family's own food experts. Each recipe pairs tradition with a fresh touch, and each starts with the finest raw ingredients, prepared under strict quality standards.
Warm a jar while the pasta cooks, toss and serve: a satisfying dinner is ready in minutes. Spoon a pesto over crostini when friends drop by, or set out a pot of pasta for an easy, generous dinner. Ursini makes it easy to cook well every day, and its jars make a welcome gift for anyone who loves a good plate of pasta.
