Casual Gourmet Foods was created by a group of life-long friends - Ben, Robert, Dave, and Dan - with a common passion for great food. But to us, Casual Gourmet is far more than just great food - it's a philosophy. Very simply, we wish to offer value-added products to consumers that yearn for healthy and effortless cuisine that is exclusive, yet still approachable. In February of 2005 Casual Gourmet Foods was acquired by Monterey Gourmet Foods thereby creating an proud alliance that will allow for the Casual Gourmet brand to continue to grow, thrive, and expand our points of distribution throughout the United States. We sincerely hope that you enjoy your experience with our products, and if you do we encourage you to tell all of your family, friends, and neighbors about Casual Gourmet!
