Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Radiatori n° 199
From the beginning of the twentieth century, many forms of pasta have been inspired by mechanics and the automotive industry, such as Rotelle (cogs) or Lancette (clock hands).
Radiatori (radiators) are also part of this tradition and are cylinder-shaped with wavy fins across them which are really good for capturing sauces.
They are particularly suited for preparing plates of pasta served with dense, colourful sauces of meat of fish, with green vegetables or vegetables, or strong cheeses.
Try them when preparing delicious, colourful pasta salads.

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
While it is the drawing process that gives the pasta its shape, it is the bronze plates that make our pasta uniquely porous, so it captures all the sauce. Hence, this is one of the special procedures we have chosen to preserve and protect. With great pride.
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.
