Cascina San Cassiano

What Cascina San Cassiano does

Cascina San Cassiano s.r.l. is an Italian specialty food manufacturer headquartered in Alba, Piedmont, producing ready-made Italian cuisine products for international B2B markets. The company operates five interchangeable production lines at a single Alba facility and markets a catalog of 280+ SKUs spanning savory sauces and ready meals, sweet creams and preserves, and a growing functional recipes line covering vegan, protein, and wellness variants, of which 135+ are certified. Its core technology is vacuum processing at controlled temperature, which delivers a 36-month shelf life without preservatives or colorants and supports full traceability and clean-label positioning; ingredients are prioritized from IGP, DOC, and DOCG Italian supply chains.

The company's business model is primarily B2B wholesale, selling through importer and distributor networks and directly to GDO retail chains in Italy and over 20 countries, with export documentation, cultural recipe adaptation, and participation in international food trade shows (including Sirha Lyon, January 2025) as core commercial levers. Pricing is quote-based through distributor channels and not publicly disclosed. A complementary direct-to-consumer channel was opened via a partnership with Italian e-commerce marketplace Cortilia for home delivery within Italy.

Cascina San Cassiano is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, revenue figures, or management team details. The company has no publicly known AI, software, or platform layer beyond its marketing website and LinkedIn presence. Recent strategic activity is concentrated in product line expansion (vegetable soups, pizza sauces, reformulated sweet creams), the new D2C channel, and continued international trade show engagement, consistent with a steady, incremental growth posture rather than step-change scaling.
