In 1947, the Nation was celebrating the end of World War II.
Some 40 years earlier, Antonino Alessi and his family immigrated
from their native Sicily to come to America. Always looking to
the future however, he realized he would be faced with a dilemma.
Tony left the security of his career position to build Vigo Importing
Company. In so doing, he displayed that same pioneering spirit
that guided his parents to America a generation before, a spirit
which continues today at Vigo Importing into the third generation.
Together with their father, sons Tony Jr., and Alfred have brought
Vigo Importing Company from its humble origins to what is now
a multi-million dollar corporation with national and international
sales. They remain a family business, squarely attuned to the
changing needs of the marketplace and clearly aware of what has
brought us this far: quality, innovation and value. They use only
the best and freshest ingredients to produce truly unique products
at economical prices. We search the world for new tastes and products
and strive to bring them to you.
As a result of this pursuit, the Alessi product line was born.
These specialties capture the best of traditional Italian cuisine.
From the sun-kissed peaks of Sicily, to the northern vales of
Tuscany, every facet of Italian culture can be tasted and experienced.
Vigo Importing Company strongly feels that the quality and variety
of the food you eat enriches your life, and they pledge to do
all we can to provide you with products of which we are proud.
At Italpasta we are proud to introduce Canadians to this high
quality family of products.

and the fishermen prepare to fix their traditional "Paella".

seafood along with spices and a pinch of saffron. Available in
9 oz and 18 oz.
Vigo Rice Products
All of the rice products are completely seasoned and easy to prepare.
They are low in fat and high in taste. All can be prepared in
a single pot in less than 25 minutes.
