Panzani Chifferini Semolina Pasta

Panzani is a historic brand synonymous with high-quality semolina pasta. Originally founded in France by Giovanni Panzani, who was of Italian descent, the brand successfully bridged the gap between Italian culinary tradition and French industrial manufacturing. Today, the brand is widely recognized across Europe, particularly in France, Belgium, and the Czech Republic (as evidenced by the Czech text 'NIKDY NELEPÍ' on the packaging, which means 'never sticks').

The brand has undergone significant ownership changes over the decades. Since 2021, the Panzani dry pasta business has been owned by CVC Capital Partners, following its acquisition from the Spanish food giant Ebro Foods. While the brand has deep French roots and Italian heritage, its manufacturing network is international, with major production facilities located in France and other European regions to serve local markets. The brand continues to focus on premium durum wheat products, maintaining its legacy of quality and innovation in the dry pasta sector.
