The kind of food you would make. If you had industrial-scale equipment in a USDA-inspected kitchen.

Our hands-on approach has made Vanee an industry-leading manufacturer of soups, sauces, gravies and meats. We’ve always been a foodservice-focused company, and it shows in the products we make and the way we make them. We use the same ingredients and preparation methods you would use—just way bigger. You can rely on our ingredients to serve food you’re proud of. Vanee helps you with the food, so you can focus on the service.

At Vanee, we’re always looking for new ways to enhance the products you offer, but our approach to food prep has always been the same. We focus on handmade, chef recipes – recipes passed from generation to generation. Since 1950, we’ve used real beef drippings from the roasting process to make gravy. We always use real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. And we maintain a high level of quality at every stage of our process.

Whether you’re looking for an exciting new menu item or enhancing your favorite standbys, Vanee is ready to meet your needs.
