Joseph Andrew Unanue (March 14, 1925 – June 12, 2013) was the president of the Unanue family–owned Goya Foods, which is the largest Hispanic–owned food company in the United States. ==Early years== Unanue's father, Prudencio Unanue Ortiz, was born in Burgos, Spain. He emigrated to Puerto Rico, where he met a young Spanish girl by the name of Carolina Casal, whose parents also had immigrated to Puerto Rico. They were married in the island in 1921 and soon after moved to New York and settled in Brooklyn where Joseph Unanue was born.〔(Ellis Island Medal of Honor )〕〔(Goya Foods President Is Ousted; Son Also Removed in Family Coup )〕 〔(Jopeph A.

Joseph attended St. Joseph's Grammar School and later St. Cecilia's High School. Since childhood and when not in school, Unanue and his brothers had to work in the family business. His special job was bottling olives.
