Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Delicato
Olio extra vergine di Oliva
Delicato is a cold-extracted extra-virgin olive oil, from olives harvested at the precise moment of ripening for a unique taste blend.
This oil is created for recipes with a subtle flavour, to enhance without suffocating their taste.
USES: perfect when drizzled straight onto fish, vegetable soups or salads.
Available in formats 1 L and 750 ml.
A superior grade olive oil obtained directly from olives and exclusively by mechanical means.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light sources.

Our method
Attention, care, experience, quality at every stage: from our mill to your table.
The milling
We have been millers for almost two centuries: way back in 1831, Don Nicola De Cecco was already producing “the best flour in the county” in his mill. To this day, we grind all the wheat in our own mill next to the pasta factory, floating with intense and delicious aromas.
The dough
Cold water and dough at a temperature of less than 15 degrees: two details allowing us to produce pasta that fully respects the primary material.
Drawing
Se grazie alla trafilatura la pasta prende forma, è la trafila ruvida a regalare alla nostra pasta quella porosità unica capace di
catturare ogni condimento. Questa è una delle particolari procedure che abbiamo scelto con grande orgoglio.
Drying
Another of the secrets behind our pasta is slow drying at low temperature. It is our way of keeping the sensory properties of the wheat intact.
