PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Christine Galetto for Monte’s Fine Foods

NEW YORK, NY (2025) – Monte’s Fine Foods, the award-winning clean-label sauce brand, announced today it will be hitting shelves at five new major retailers, expanding its presence across the New York and Los Angeles markets. New retail partners include Kings, DeCicco & Sons, Balducci’s, Bristol Farms, and Whole Foods, adding nearly 60 new locations to Monte’s store count as the new year kicks off.

All three of Monte’s signature sauces are now available at these premium retailers in the new, larger jar – the 24oz size. The brand has started to roll out its larger jars with all its bigger retail partners this year – including Erewhon and Pop Up Grocer – while continuing to stock its original 16oz sauces with smaller specialty and independent shops across the country.

“As we continue to grow and take up more shelf space at these premium retailers, we’re more focused on quality than ever before. Maintaining the same high quality of sauce my family has been making for over 120 years in kitchens across New York.” said PJ Monte, Founder & CEO of Monte’s Fine Foods. “Monte’s is all about quality without pretension, serving up Sunday dinner in a jar. We’re excited to expand our footprint in our hometown and other key markets, delivering the Monte’s experience to new customers.”

Monte’s is currently sold in about 1,000 stores nationwide, with a large concentration in the New York market where the brand was founded and has deep ties.
