Barilla Pennette Rigate N°72

Barilla is the global leader in pasta and a cornerstone of Italian food heritage. The brand was established in 1877 by Pietro Barilla who opened a bread and pasta shop in Parma, Italy. Since its inception, the company has remained family-owned, passing through several generations while expanding into one of the most recognized food industrial groups in the world.

While Barilla is synonymous with its Italian identity, it maintains a global manufacturing footprint. Most pasta sold in European markets is produced in Italy, particularly at its flagship plant in Parma, which is the largest pasta factory in the world. However, to serve global markets sustainably, the company operates production facilities in several other countries including the United States, Greece, and Turkey. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Barilla G. e R. Fratelli S.p.A., headquartered in Parma, Italy.
