Interesting history......quite fascinating.
But have Italians run the company, and owned the brand, in the last 40 or 50 years?
The overwhelming majority of the Italian food I’ve eaten over the years has been prepared at home....by Italians or persons of Italian descent.
Hector Boiardi sold his company in 1946. It had gotten too big for him to manage. He did stay on as consultant and spokesman until his death in 1985. I’m pretty sure he kept the recipes and ingredients as close to original as possible.
My wife loved Italian cooking. She learned how at a very good Italian restaurant she worked at for five years. Her spaghetti, lasagna and other dishes were heavenly.
