De Cecco Penne Rigate pasta

De Cecco is a world-renowned Italian food brand specializing in premium pasta and flour products. Founded in 1886 by the De Cecco brothers in Fara San Martino, Abruzzo, the company is famous for its 'Lenta Essiccazione' (low-temperature slow-drying) method and for using bronze dies to create a rough texture that holds sauces efficiently.

All De Cecco pasta continues to be manufactured in Italy, primarily in its historical facilities in Fara San Martino and Pescara. The brand has remained largely independent and is still owned and operated by the De Cecco family through the holding company F.lli De Cecco di Filippo S.p.A. The company is recognized as one of the top pasta producers globally, exported to over 100 countries while maintaining its headquarters in its founding region of Italy.
