Since 1886 we have had the important responsibility of carrying on, without compromise, the tradition of making quality pasta while maintaining the same processing methods used 130 years ago. This means we can bring the authentic taste of Italian cooking to homes all over the world. De Cecco organic pasta is the natural result of over 130 years of passion for quality and respect for the rules passed down "from father to son". This is why since 1886 the "De Cecco Method" has meant: the selection, thanks to our long experience, of the best semolina from organic farming produced in Italy and the rest of the world, to guarantee pasta with unique qualities and perfect firmness during cooking; strict quality checks that our organic semolina must pass in our laboratories before being used, so that it is perfectly fit for consumption; kneading with cold water at a temperature below 15°C to ensure the pasta holds its shape during cooking; the use of rough of bronze draw-plates to make the pasta porous so that it captures the sauce more effectively; slow drying at low temperatures to preserve the texture, appearance, taste and aroma of our wheat.
