Pastificio Bragagnolo Calamarata pasta

Pastificio Bragagnolo is a premium Italian pasta brand with a history dating back to 1898. The product shown is Calamarata, a thick ring-shaped pasta named for its resemblance to calamari rings, crafted using 100% Italian durum wheat (Grano Italiano) and featuring a rough surface (superficie ruvida) traditionally achieved through bronze die extrusion to better hold sauces.

The brand is a core part of the Pasta Zara group, one of Italy's leading pasta exporters. While the Bragagnolo family founded the original mill and factory in Castelfranco Veneto, the brand has grown into an international name while maintaining its manufacturing roots in Italy. Today, the brand is owned by Pasta Zara S.p.A., which continues to manage production across its Italian facilities, ensuring the heritage and quality of the 'Pasta dal 1898' legacy remains intact.
