From vegetables preserved in oil that capture the Italian sun, to cheeses that make you dream, every bite is an invitation to prolong the pleasure. And if the temptation to go for seconds is too strong, don’t worry—we won’t tell anyone. After all, the antipasto is just the beginning, but with our products, it’s a beginning that's hard to beat.

Pasta is undoubtedly the favorite dish of Italians, and the incredible variety of available shapes is the clearest proof of this. We are world champions, both in production, with a staggering 3.2 million tons per year, and in consumption, with an average of 24 kg per person. It’s no surprise, then, that AIDEPI (the Association of Italian Confectionery and Pasta Industries) has created a detailed guide to pairing each of the 300 cataloged pasta shapes with the perfect sauce. After all, let’s face it—a sauce that shines with spaghetti might not have the same effect on fusilli.
In pasta, form truly is substance. We’re talking about "architecture for the mouth," where each shape not only has a different cooking time, but its flavor and texture can also vary significantly depending on how it’s prepared—whether boiled and dressed, sautéed in a pan, or even "risottato." Every pasta has its own personality to express on the plate. On our website, you’ll find a rich selection of recipes and tips to make every pasta dish a unique and original tasting experience, while always staying true to the most authentic Italian culinary tradition.
