Ragú

The Italian word ragù is commonly used in to indicate meat based sauces and has its origin by the french ragoûter (to revive the taste). Typical italian ragù are the Bolognese ragú (known as Bolognese sauce) or the Neapolitan ragù. A ragú is usually made from meat, tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots, white wine, and seasonings. Ground meat wasn't traditionally used in Italian ragú, instead meat was cut into pieces. Ground meat was introduced primarily as the sauce became popular in other countries. Beyond Italy, ragú sauces are very popular in Sweden, Greece, Japan, and the United States. As a brand name, Ragù is an Italian style sauce brand first sold in 1946 and one of many consumer brands in the Unilever, an Anglo-Dutch food giant, portfolio. The company is most well known for selling jar packaged pasta sauce, but other products include pizza sauce. A late 90's television advertising campaign featured the slogan, "Ragù, brings the Italian out in you!"
