Thank you for your interest in our organic and natural products. Every recipe is truly a labor of love, deeply rooted in my family's history. In fact, many of our recipes originated with my mother (Ruth) and aunt (Aunt Trudy). I have such fond memories of the aromas in our kitchen, particularly on holidays when my mom and aunt would work their magic. Having experienced my mother's and her sister's gourmet cooking, it is not surprising that I became a gourmand at a young age.

I grew up in a fillo-producing family business. My parents sold it when I was in college getting my mechanical engineering degree. I always had an interest in food. In fact, I originally planned to go to culinary school before opting for engineering. As an engineer, I spent 4 years perfecting the latest generation of fillo-making equipment. Then, in 1993, I took what I learned about making the perfect fillo and opened The Fillo Factory. Our slogan has been "gourmet the natural and organic way". Over time, the growing success of Fillo Factory lead to our other brands: Aunt Trudy's, Mimi's Chili, YiaYia's, and most recently, Ruth's Fillo Bistro.

When my wife, Melissa, and I started to raise a family, we were determined to nurture our children with food that was healthy, free of chemicals and delicious. Today, we bring that philosophy to all or our organic and natural recipes. From our family to yours... We hope you enjoy our products.
