Company History  image
In 1910 Vincenzo Aversa left the shores of his home in Palermo, Italy for a new life in America. When they arrived they quickly settled in with family and friends in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, NY. Vincenzo’s dad Francesco quickly established himself as a premiere pasta artisan which was his trade back home in Italy. Within a few years Francesco opened the Bayridge Macaroni Company. Vincenzo had worked with his dad in the store as a boy where he developed his skills and a passion for the pasta business. It was in 1933 when Vincenzo desired to expand his father’s business into stuffed pasta’s, Specialties that were made exclusively in the Aversa home. Vincenzo established a new name to sell his high quality products under and that name of course was SILVER STAR. At first all they items were made by hand using nothing but high quality natural ingredients. As the demand for these specialty items grew Vincenzo’s desire was to produce these same items on a larger scale never sacrificing his favorite word Quality.

It was now Vincenzo’s mission to automate the process so he called on a long time friend who I only know as (Mr. Lombi) Mr. Lombi was an engineer and a machinist and together they developed the first automated ravioli machines. These basic principles are still used in today’s pasta equipment and there still plenty of the old style Lombi machines still in operation. Now that production capabilities where expanded Vincenzo was able to start producing product in larger quantities to meet his demands that now have surpassed just his local neighborhood and had reach the 5 boroughs and Long Island. It was now time to incorporate the business while meeting with his attorney the attorney asked Vincenzo you’re an Italian immigrant where did the name Silver Star come from, Vincenzo’s answer was simple he had such a love for his new country the highest honor that could be given to a soldier in America was a Silver Star.

 In 1950 Silver Star moved into a 25,000 square foot factory on McDonald Ave in Brooklyn. Sales have become so strong that Silver Star was being sold in all the local super markets and specialty stores within the Tristate area along with local foodservice distributors who supplied local airlines and cruise ships and restaurants. Vincenzo passed away in 1969 leaving the company to his daughter Rosalie Trotta and his brother Anthony Aversa. Silver Star under the new leadership continued to grow over the next 15 years when Rosalie Trotta acquired 100% ownership of Silver Star. Silver Star through the next decades has continued to grow reaching annual sales of 12 million with customers on the east coast, Arizona, Nevada, California.

Silver Star is one of the most recognized names in the pasta industry and has been for 80 years.
