Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino D.O.P.
The “Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese Nocerino DOP” is a product of excellence whose typical and unique bittersweet taste is the consequence of both the specific microclimate of the zone of production and the volcanic composition of the soil on which it is cultivated on.
The PDO (DOP) certification certifies the cultivation and production zone, strictly normed by a specific production regulation. The Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese Nocerino DOP is known and appreciated all around the world for its specific characteristics that are magnified by its transformation into a peeled form.

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 rough die 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.
