Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Ragù alla Bolognese
De Cecco “Ragù alla Bolognese” is produced by maintaining the simplicity of the original recipe: a generous portion of diced onions, celery and carrot are added to the tomato pulp, together with tender, delicious top quality meat.
Created in collaboration with the celebrated 3 Michelin star chef, Heinz Beck, De Cecco “Ragù alla Bolognese” is made only with Italian tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and the finest ingredients which when simmered slowly together enhance the unique flavour of our recipe.
De Cecco does not use preservatives or colouring agents to preserve all the authentic flavours of the primary ingredients used.

Available in packs of 190g 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
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.
