De Cecco Gluten-Free Rigatoni n° 26

De Cecco is one of the world's most prestigious pasta brands, maintaining a legacy that dates back to the early 19th century. The company’s roots were planted in 1831 when Nicola Antonio De Cecco began milling in Fara San Martino, a small village in the Abruzzo region of Italy. In 1886, the business officially evolved into a pasta-making enterprise. The brand is famous for its 'De Cecco Method,' which involves slow drying at low temperatures and the use of cool mountain spring water, a tradition that has been preserved for over a century.

While traditional pasta remains their core, De Cecco has expanded into specialty markets, including this gluten-free range. Their gluten-free Rigatoni n° 26 is crafted using a unique recipe of yellow corn, white corn, rice, and brown rice to replicate the texture and flavor of traditional durum wheat pasta. The manufacturing is strictly centered in Italy, primarily at their historic facilities in Fara San Martino and Pescara.

Ownership of the brand remains firmly within the founding family. As of 2026, the company continues to be a private, family-owned entity (Fratelli De Cecco di Filippo Fara San Martino S.p.A.), led by the third to fifth generations of the De Cecco family. It stands as the third-largest pasta manufacturer globally, celebrated for its 'Made in Italy' excellence and commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
