Rastelli’s

What Rastelli’s does

Rastelli Foods Group (legal entity Rastelli Foods DTC, LLC) is a vertically integrated, family-owned meat and seafood processor founded in 1976 by brothers Ray and Tony Rastelli in Oak Valley, New Jersey. From a 300,000+ sq ft production footprint across 8 USDA-certified facilities in South Jersey, the company processes more than 2 million pounds of meat per week with 900+ employees. Its portfolio spans six brands — flagship Rastelli's (premium cuts), Butcher Burger (premium patties), Ready in Minutes (marinated proteins), Portioned Cut Steaks/Roasts/Grinds, Egg Harbor Seafood (acquired frozen seafood brand), Botto's Genuine Italian Sausage (acquired November 2025), and The Perfect Gourmet (frozen appetizers) — and is supported by in-house dry ice manufacturing, multi-zone cold chain logistics, ozonated water pathogen systems, and SQF Excellent, USDA, FDA, EU, Halal, Certified Humane, MSC, BAP, FSC, and US-DOD certifications. A stated 99.8%+ fill rate across every channel and 50-year heritage as "America's Personal Butcher" anchor its brand position.

The company operates a four-division go-to-market structure (Retail, Foodservice, E-Commerce, International) plus Private Label & Custom Programs. Named enterprise accounts span Tier 1 grocery retail (Giant, Stop & Shop, Costco, Wegmans, BJ's, Food Lion, Acme, Safeway, Grocery Outlet, AWG, Lipari), the U.S. Military (supplier since 2002, US-DOD Approved Source), and Emirates Airlines (2025 Supplier of the Year). Direct-to-consumer revenue flows through shop.rastellis.com subscriptions (recurring 2/4/6/8-week cadence), one-time e-commerce purchases, and QVC television/streaming (QVC, QVC+, HSN+), where Rastelli's holds the #1 Food Brand ranking. In April 2026 the company expanded onto TikTok Shop via QVC's 4th Annual Foodie Fest. Revenue mechanics combine subscription recurring orders, one-time e-commerce sales, wholesale distribution, private label/custom manufacturing, and international export across 80+ countries.

Underlying operational infrastructure — in-house dry ice production, port-adjacent facilities, in-house customs clearing built during COVID-19, and vertical sourcing partnerships — supports both B2B reliability and DTC frozen shipping at scale. The November 2025 acquisition of the Botto's brand and Mt. Royal, NJ facility from C.W. Brown LLC extends capacity into fresh sausage and value-added proteins, complementing a 2026 Ready-to-Cook chicken wings and drumsticks product launch. The business is privately held by the Rastelli family with no disclosed external investors.
