A Family Legacy

This photograph features Sam Paris (Parisi) and Katie (Cervasi) Paris, the parents of Paris Brothers founders and owners Joseph and Sal Paris.

Their family’s Sicilian heritage, love of food, and commitment to quality helped lay the foundation for what would become Paris Brothers and its family of brands. Those values continue to guide Cervasi today, influencing the products we select, source, and bring to market.

In 1989, when Paris Brothers partnered with Colavita to private label its pasta, the family chose to honor their heritage by naming the brand after Katie’s maiden name, Cervasi. Since then, the Cervasi name has become synonymous with authentic Italian ingredients, traditional craftsmanship, and a passion for sharing the flavors of Italy with American tables.

Today, Cervasi is part of Paris Group, a family-owned food and beverage company with deep experience in specialty foods, retail distribution and brand development.
