I was hitting the sauce before I pulled into the driveway. When it's ready, the conveyor belt kicks into gear, and 35 Italian women start bottling spaghetti sauce a mile a minute. After it's bottled, the sauce is allowed to cool for a week. Then the ladies return and put a distinctive ribbon on each jar. A green ribbon signifies mild.
White ribbons go on the original flavor.
Red ribbons mean fire. The Donne di Domani ladies have been approached many times by supermarkets and corporations to make their sauce year-round. That's not what we're about. We do this to support charities. We don't want to lose control of the quality and mass-produce it.
