Sing Out Aunt Theresa 16

Theresa at our Booth New York Fancy Food Show 1999

Sadly, on November 25, 2018 we lost a member who, to me, embodied the spirit of that magical household most perfectly.

The Di Camillo family would like to congratulate all of the winners. http://videos.specialtyfood.com/ Unfortunately, we ourselves did not win anything this year, but we certainly have had our share of awards in previous years and they are always a great honor and a wonderful acknowledgment of all the hard work and countless hours and courage that go into creating a winner in this truly
international arena.
