In 1907, Giuseppe and his wife emigrated from Italy to New Orleans where they began selling high-quality, authentic Italian foods and soups under the name Progresso. Today, more than 100 years after Giuseppe Uddos first journey to America, Progresso keeps finding new ways to deliver quality meals that match the unique needs of individuals and families.
