In 1982, Newman’s Own started as a tiny boutique operation – parchment labels on elegant wine bottles that Paul Newman filled with his homemade salad dressing and gave to his neighbors as holiday gifts. He expected train wrecks along the way and, instead, got one astonishment followed by another.But in these thirty years we have earned over$400 million, all of which we’ve given to countless charities. How to account for this massive success? We haven’t the slightest idea but one thing we do know is we’re not stopping.Today, Newman’s Own produces nearly 100 individual food products across 9 categories. Always great tasting, always top quality, just the way our founder, Paul Newman, insisted. We’ll always follow his vision for putting quality first. The result: you end up with a pretty darn good meal.
