Mario L. Foah pioneered the introduction of Italian specialty foods into the U.S., beginning in 1952. The popularity of balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, and even espresso machines are the result of Mario's commitment to Italian tradition and his understanding that these traditions had a place in the U.S. Foah also served as Board Chair for the Specialty Food Association/NASFT.
