Barilla Protein+ Penne Rigate

Barilla Protein+ Penne Rigate is a high-protein alternative to traditional pasta, designed to offer the same great taste while incorporating plant-based proteins from sources like lentils, chickpeas, and peas.

Founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla in Parma, Italy, the brand has grown from a local bread and pasta shop into the world's leading pasta manufacturer. To this day, the company remains family-owned, managed by the fourth generation of the Barilla family (brothers Guido, Luca, and Paolo Barilla).

Manufacturing takes place in various global facilities to meet international demand. While a significant portion of production is located in Italy, the company also operates large-scale manufacturing plants in the United States (such as in Iowa and New York) and other regions to ensure freshness and reduce transport emissions for local markets.
