Established in 1926.
From Lemons to Premium Pasta – The Fresina family’s Italian-Louisianan roots trace back to the 18th century where many of their ancestors migrated as citrus traders to fill the shortage on Louisiana plantations. While some Sicilians returned to Italy after harvest, the Fresina family felt familiar with New Orleans’ sub-tropical climate, Catholic history and lust for food and drink. In 1926 the Fresina Macaroni Manufacturing Company was born. In 2013 Fresina’s was acquired by Baton Rouge-based D’Agostino family, committed to preserve the Italian heritage. The torch was passed again to the famous 96-year-old packager of Camellia Brand beans, L.H. Hayward. L.H. Hayward is a fourth-generation company and understands the value of family and cultural tradition. After all, they’ve been advocating for the longstanding tradition of Red Beans and Rice on Monday since 1923.
