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.

Spaghetti n° 12 - Gluten-Free
A precise combination of yellow corn, white corn, rice and brown rice makes De Cecco spaghetti a delicious staple, also in the Gluten-Free versions. Firm, textured and solid, it is perfect for classic dishes such as Spaghetti Carbonara, Spaghetti Amatriciana and Spaghetti alla Gricia; it is also ideal for quick solutions, such as oil, garlic and chilli pepper. The bronze-drawing process adds porosity to the pasta, allowing the Spaghetti to absorb fully the taste of your preferred sauces while remaining ‘al dente’.
