You know what we mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A family company with 3 generations of seafood heritage and a modern processing factory in Central Italy, Esca is the Italian leader of high quality clams with pasta sauces which Italian families everyday use to replace the uncertain quality of canned clams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They called it Condipresto, a name to represent the idea of cooking pasta on the side (Italians like to personalize their pasta, often \u2018al dente\u2019) and to use their sauce (in Italian: \u2018condire\u2019). An 8 minutes process, therefore \u2018presto\u2019 (fast).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20 years ago (oh yes, long time) Esca came to LP Foods asking us to set up the supply for them of Asian clams in shell and Asian clam meat for their Condipresto, but to guarantee the most strict quality standards: no chemicals, additives in production; no foreign corps of any kind, be it broken shells, or small crabs, or algae; no sand, even the slightest hint; no mud on the outer shell, black water drops, bad smell. It took years to improve the supply chain and to sensibilize the plants to the importance of delivering a premium product for a seafood traditionally seen as \u2018poor\u2019 due to the low unit cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"364\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/box.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/box.jpg 364w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/box-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20 years later, Esca and LP Foods are still going strong together: Condipresto is by far the #1 Pasta Sauce in Italy with millions of boxes consumed every year by Italian pasta lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the video of Condipresto:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CondiPresto from ESCA\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D156PiUJ09g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-1024x259.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13392\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3.953973279789945;width:264px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-1024x259.png 1024w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-768x194.png 768w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-1536x388.png 1536w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-2048x518.png 2048w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Asset-1@4x-1320x334.png 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a legacy of excellence since 1920, LP Foods connects the rich waters of Vietnam, India, and Indonesia to global markets, ensuring quality in every shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lpfoods.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/24Jun-Product-List-Online-View.pdf\"><strong>Download Our Product List<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discuss your specific requirements, please connect with us at: info@lpfoods.com.sg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italians are well known for loving Vongole very much.
