Selecting the wheat

Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.

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.

Fusilli n° 34 - Gluten-Free

We could hardly leave out Fusilli from our Gluten-Free range! The spiral shape, originating from yesteryear in southern Italy, means that strong condiments such as cheese-based sauces, rich meat, or fish sauces, can all thoroughly envelop the pasta for delicious results. As with other De Cecco Gluten-Free products, the Fusilli pasta is the result of a careful selection of naturally gluten-free grains that are a strong source of fibre, in the search for a balanced recipe of taste, colour and aroma with the indispensable ‘al dente’ texture.
