FaBene Organic Italian Food

About Us

I could’ve told you the kind of story Americans love: “My name is Antonella, I’m 46, I’m Italian, and I left my country to bring my grandma’s recipes to California. I cook with love because it reminds me of her. Italian food is the best in the world, and I’m here for you.”

But the truth is something else. I’ve always been straightforward, real, and a bit of a rebel.
I’ve never had a passion for cooking. If I had the choice, I always ordered delivery.
I worked across Italy in sales and consulting, constantly on the move. I ate in my car, in restaurants, wherever—but never in the kitchen.

Then I turned 40. Now came the reflux. Digestive issues. An autoimmune disease. And the realization that I could no longer eat whatever I wanted. That’s when I understood: something’s missing from the market. Ready-made food? Sure. But healthy, tasty, real? Grandma’s recipe might be delicious—but let’s be honest, it’s not balanced. And ingredients today aren’t what they used to be. If you don’t choose them carefully, they hurt you.

I was looking for meals that were ready, healthy, but flavorful. And no—“meal prep” with chicken and salad doesn’t cut it. Do we really all dream of cooking during the few spare hours we have? I don’t.

I wanted to build a company that lets me eat well whenever I want—without settling for bland or boring. That’s why I created FaBene, because I refuse to accept that “healthy” food has to be boring, expensive, or inaccessible.

We specialize in real, nutritious, and convenient Italian food—the kind of food that should be the standard but isn’t. We take classic Italian dishes and reinvent them with organic ingredients, no added sugar, high fiber, and a low glycemic index—so that people don’t have to choose between health and taste.

What sets us apart? We don’t sell “healthy” food. We sell smart food—food that works for your body, not against it.

If food isn’t delicious, people won’t eat it.
If food isn’t convenient, people won’t buy it.
If food isn’t nutritious, it’s just another problem disguised as a solution.

What am I most proud of?
That people who don’t even care about “healthy eating” try FaBene and love it.
That we are proving that food can be fast, good, and actually good for you.

-Antonella Mundo, Founder of FaBene

Momoda Pets

Mission Statement

At Momoda Pets, we are dedicated to making premium, natural treats and dental chews accessible to every dog parent. Our mission is to provide a one-stop platform where you can find high-quality, simple, and nutritious products, along with the knowledge to support your dog’s health. We are committed to helping you make proactive, informed choices about your pet’s well-being—because every dog deserves healthy, affordable treats that bring joy and improve their quality of life.

Our Story

The story of Momoda Pets began with a simple wish to give our first rescue dog, Momo, the healthiest and safest treats possible. Like many new dog parents, we trusted the big brands, only to find that the treats were full of chemicals and preservatives that didn’t align with our vision for Momo’s health. We saw the impact on her—tartar buildup and weight gain—and knew there had to be a better way.

Determined to do better for Momo, we started researching and consulting vets. What we discovered was life-changing: dehydrated treats like chicken feet and pig ears could make a real difference in her dental and overall health. The problem? These natural treats were priced too high. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands.

In 2020, we bought a dehydrator and began creating natural treats and chews for our own dogs. Friends and family soon noticed the positive changes in their dogs and began asking to buy our products. It wasn’t long before we realized we had something special. Thus, Momoda Pets was born—a business that’s not only about selling premium treats but also about building a community where dog parents can share knowledge, find healthy alternatives, and make better decisions for their pets.

Our name, inspired by Momo, reflects our core belief that every pet deserves to be treated with care, love, and the best ingredients. We promise to always sell what we feed our own dogs, ensuring that each product is safe, wholesome, and made with integrity.

As we continue to grow, our goal is clear: making premium, natural treats and dental chews accessible to every dog parent. We aim to empower our community with the knowledge they need to make informed choices and help shape a pet industry that prioritizes health and well-being over profits.

Join us on our journey to create a healthier, happier life for our dogs—because we believe that when pets thrive, their owners do too.

We can’t wait to meet you this weekend!
