Notable facts
- Founded in 1888 and now a brand of Genoa-based Icat Food, which acquired Angelo Parodi in 1985.
- The sardine and mackerel ranges use both Mediterranean and Atlantic fish, and per-SKU sourcing is variable.
- Icat Food traces to 1850 and is associated with the Teglio family.
- No reviewed source establishes that the sardines are physically canned in Italy; without can-code evidence they should not be presented as Italian-made.
