Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Sugo alla Siciliana
Created in collaboration with the renowned, 3 Michelin star chef, Heinz Beck, you can find all the goodness of green and black olives in De Cecco “Sugo alla Siciliana”, combined with the authentic flavour of extra virgin olive oil and the fresh taste of Italian tomatoes.
De Cecco does not use preservatives or colouring agents to preserve all the authentic flavours of the primary ingredients used.
Try it with De Cecco Fusilli.
Available in packs of 200g and 400g.

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.
