De Cecco Fusilli

De Cecco is a premier Italian brand renowned globally for its high-quality pasta. Founded in 1886 by Filippo De Cecco in Fara San Martino, Abruzzo, the company revolutionized the industry by inventing the first low-temperature air-drying system. This signature 'Lenta Essiccazione' (Slow Drying) process preserves the nutritional value and organoleptic properties of the grain, ensuring superior texture and flavor.

The product is manufactured primarily at the historical site in Fara San Martino and the newer plant in Ortona, Italy. De Cecco remains a family-owned enterprise, currently managed by the third and fourth generations of the De Cecco family. The brand is celebrated for its commitment to traditional methods, such as using bronze dies to create a rough surface (Trafilatura al bronzo) that allows sauces to cling effectively to the pasta, making it a staple in premium kitchens worldwide.
