The selection of the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Penne Rigate n° 41 – Protein Boost
At De Cecco, we’ve always believed great pasta starts with the finest ingredients and traditional craftsmanship.
Our slow drying process at low temperatures helps preserve all the natural goodness of our selected wheat.

Our method
Attention, care, experience and quality during every phase: 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.
The drawing process
Se grazie alla trafilatura la pasta prende forma, è la trafila ruvida a regalare alla nostra pasta quella porosità unica capace di
catturare ogni condimento. Questa è una delle particolari procedure che abbiamo scelto con grande orgoglio.
The drying process
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.
