ContadinaThe Contadina brand name was established in 1918 along with the Contadina image. Contadina is an Italian word that means "woman of the fields" and it is her image that has come to symbolize the care and quality these women of old gave to the making of their savory dishes, a tradition of excellence carried on in Contadina tomato products. Contadina, began as a result of the German blockade in 1914. Finding themselves short of imported tomato supplies, three enterprising Italian immigrant families seized the opportunity and began producing tomato paste in White Plains, New York. A member of one of these families discovered that the good soil and dependable climate of California made it better than Italy's Parma Valley and the Naples peninsula for growing tomatoes. Moving to San Jose, California, in 1916 the family founded the Bell Canto Foods canning company. Today, Contadina Foods, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Del Monte Corporation.
