Barilla Napoletana Pasta Sauce

Barilla Napoletana Pasta Sauce is a classic Italian tomato-based pasta sauce made with Italian tomatoes, onions, garlic, and Mediterranean herbs. It is produced by Barilla, one of the world's leading pasta and sauce manufacturers.

The Barilla brand traces its roots back to 1877, when Pietro Barilla Sr. opened a small bakery and pasta shop in Parma, Italy. Over more than a century, the family enterprise grew into a major global food powerhouse renowned for its pasta, ready-to-use pasta sauces, and bakery items under brands like Mulino Bianco and Wasa.

Today, Barilla remains an independent, family-controlled multinational corporation operated through the holding company Barilla Holding S.p.A., headquartered in Parma, Italy. The vast majority of its tomato sauces sold across European and UK markets, including this Napoletana recipe, are produced at Barilla's specialized sauce facility in Rubbiano di Solignano near Parma, Italy.
