Buitoni (Italian pronunciation: [buiˈtoːni]) is a famous Italian food company. It is based in a town called Sansepolcro in Italy. The company started a very long time ago, in 1827. Buitoni is well-known for making factory-produced pasta and delicious sauces.

A Long History

Buitoni has been making food for nearly 200 years! The Buitoni family owned the company for many generations. In 1985, the family sold the company. It was bought by a person named Carlo De Benedetti.

Just a few years later, in 1988, a very large food company called Nestlé bought Buitoni. Nestlé is a big company that makes many different food and drink products. In 2017, Nestlé made some changes to the Buitoni brand. They let another company, Frosta AG, make some Buitoni frozen meals in Italy.
