Inspiration & Upbringing

Inspired by his mother, father, and grandmother through their hard work on the family farm, Vincent learned the meaning of true integrity and survival by combining every skill, talent and ability he learned along the way. At the age of 14 he learned the basic essentials of life by growing and harvesting crops, raising livestock, and cooking. His family and grandmother Catalina's authentic, healthy ways of cooking greatly influenced young Vincent, so much so that he coined the phrase Real Sugar, Real Butter, Real People™ to honor them.

When it comes to real food Vinni doesn't believe in cutting corners, but only cutting the time through the use of his signature products.
