Our history begins in 1927 in Messina, a small seaside town in Sicily among Mediterranean flavors and aromas.
There, Gaetano Giannone lived from his basic activity: extraction of essential oils and production of crystallized fruits, later he decided to found Giannone & Cia. Ltda., An Italian family company. The numerous difficulties of the Economic Crisis motivated the family to immigrate to Brazil in 1929, settling in the interior of São Paulo, Sorocaba, becoming one of the pioneers in the production of these products in Brazil.
Many years of work took place when, in 1998, Caetano Eduardo Giannone, Gaetano’s grandson, started the expansion of the company creating the fragrance division under the name G.Giannone & Cia. Ltda.
From there, the company becomes one of the largest producers of flavorings for all segments of the food market.
