History
Giorgio Foods Inc. was founded by Pierto Giorgi in 1928 in Temple, Pennsylvania, when he constructed his first mushroom building. From then on, the company has been famous for its high quality mushroom varieties. In the 1950s, the company opened a cannery so they could meet the demands of the growing grocery industry. In the 1970s they built a modern new facility for packaging frozen mushrooms. They have been known since the beginning to focus on providing the best, highest quality mushrooms possible.
The company follows the Japanese philosophy of management called Kaizen. The emphasis of Kaizen is to continuously improve everything that is undertaken. For Giorgio Foods this includes improvements in the growing environment for the mushrooms, to perfecting better packaging and transportation in order to provide a fresher tasting product.
Giorgio Foods Inc. now has 3 mushroom farms. All the mushrooms are handpicked and are sent to specially built houses. Optimum humidity and temperature is maintained to ensure the mushrooms mature perfectly and are sold at their peak. The mushrooms are sold fresh, canned, jarred or frozen to parts of America, Canada, and Latin America.
Their products also include frozen breaded mushrooms and flavored breaded mozzarella cheese stick snacks, as well as frozen Polish-style pierogies, mushroom steak sauce and brown gravy. Giorgio Foods also provides branded and private label jarred mushrooms. They produce millions of pounds of mushrooms every year. They grow White (or Button), Portobello, Italian Brown, Shiitake, Oyster and Enoki mushrooms.
In addition to their retail operations, Giorgio Foods also provides services and products to the food service industry. They will work with individual companies to create a desired mushroom flavor.

I too have bought the Giorgio Dawn Fresh Mushroom Sauce (Wal Mart – also avail online at Amazon, etc.) but last purchase was totally unlike all previous! very watery with only tiny hints of mushrooms. unless they go back to original recipe, won’t be buying any more.
I have been buying your mushroom steak sauce at shaws for years now they no longer carry it Where else in central new Hampshire is this product sold
Thank you very much for your time and response kd
I bought a case of “Pennsylvania Mushrooms” as proclaimed on the front of the cans. This is an outright lie. They are from China and I will throw them out rather than use them ..or give them to a food bank. Giorgia has sold us out. Call them China mushrooms and be half way honest.
For years, I have been buying Giorgio mushrooms, which I thought was a product of the United States. NOW I find out that your mushrooms are a product of China–WHY? Now I buy an off brand that are just as good , AND cost less, that are a product of the America. Why do most of the big businesses in America, that we have supported all these year,import our fruits,vegtables and a lot of oher products from the foreign countries? That’s right–I forgot–it’s all about the money & I’m sure our politicians encourge foreign markets. Too bad! Well, you’ve just lost another customer. Thank God that the law makes you put on the label where the product comes from. Have you ever seen how & with what China & other Asian countries fertilizes it’s fields? Enough said. Thanks for the disappointment. Fran Duquette
