Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Olio di Oliva
De Cecco’s Olio d’Oliva is a precisely-mixed blend of selected refined oils with an excellent extra-virgin olive oil.
It has been created to satisfy customers looking for oil with a light flavour, subtle and non-intrusive.
With its clear pale yellow colour and slightly almondy taste, this is a perfect oil for cooking.
USES: perfect for cooking food (in the oven or fried). Excellent for the preparation of sauces, marinates, mayonnaise and in cakes and pizza.
Available in formats 1 L and 5 L.
Oil made exclusively from olive oils that have undergone a refining process and oils obtained directly from the olives.
A composite of refined olive oils and virgin olive oils.
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.
