Sacla' was born in 1939, when our founding grandparents – Secondo and Piera Ercole – set up a small business preparing fruit and vegetables in their hometown of Asti in a region up in the north west of Italy called Piedmont, which means the foot of the mountains.

Surrounded by the abundant herbs, vegetables and fruits that give Piedmont its name as 'Italy's garden', Secondo and Piera were determined to share their local bounty with the world. And so, with a deep respect for the rhythm of the seasons and the fertile land which gave them so much, Società Anonima Commercia Lavorazione Alimentari grew into a flourishing business, one that soon became known more simply as Sacla'.
