Barilla Gnocchi No. 56

Barilla Gnocchi No. 56 is a popular durum wheat semolina pasta shape produced by Barilla, the world’s leading pasta manufacturer. Founded in Parma, Italy, in 1877 by Pietro Barilla, the company has grown from a local bread and pasta shop into a global food powerhouse.

While the brand holds deep Italian roots and maintains significant production facilities in Italy, it also operates manufacturing plants in several countries including the United States, Greece, and Turkey to serve global markets efficiently. Since its inception, Barilla has remained a family-owned enterprise, currently managed by the fourth generation of the Barilla family through their holding company, Barilla Iniziative.
