Barilla Pesto or Pasta Sauce

Barilla is a legendary Italian brand that has become synonymous with high-quality pasta and Mediterranean sauces. Founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla in Parma, Italy, the company began as a small bread and pasta shop and grew into a global leader in the food industry. Today, Barilla remains a family-owned business, controlled by the fourth generation of the Barilla family.

While most of their authentic sauces and pasta varieties are produced in Italy to maintain traditional standards, the company operates various production facilities globally to serve different markets efficiently. Barilla is well-regarded for its commitment to the 'Mediterranean Way' of eating, focusing on sustainable sourcing and healthy, simple ingredients. The brand continues to be headquartered in Parma, Italy, maintaining its heritage while being the world's largest pasta producer.
