Barilla Gnocchi n. 85 Pasta

Barilla Gnocchi n. 85 is a specific pasta shape created by Barilla, the world's leading pasta manufacturer. Founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla as a small bread and pasta shop in Parma, Italy, the brand has grown into a global icon of Italian cuisine. The 'Gnocchi' shape produced in durum wheat (semolina) is designed to mimic the traditional potato dumpling form, featuring a hollow center and exterior ridges to hold sauces efficiently.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Italian heritage and maintains a majority of its high-end production within Italy, Barilla operates a vast international network of production plants. This includes facilities across Europe, North America, and other regions to serve local markets efficiently. Despite its global scale, the company remains a family-owned enterprise, currently managed by the fourth generation of the Barilla family, ensuring the brand's original commitment to traditional Italian quality remains its core identity.
