Producer Info: Located in the picturesque Campanian town of Gragnano, La Fabbrica della Pasta di Gragnano is a fourth-generation pasta company established by Mario Moccia in 1976. They believe the production of pasta is an art and a heritage of history, culture, traditions and secrets.

La Fabbrica della Pasta uses mountain spring water and applies a slow and careful drying method and of course, the finest durum wheat to produce high quality pasta, which comes in a variety of shapes. The technique used is a perfect example of the Calabrian pasta tradition that focuses on flavour, colour and texture. One for the ages.
