Barilla Gnocchi n.85 pasta

Barilla is a world-renowned Italian food brand, best known for its extensive range of dried pasta. Founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla in Parma, Italy, the company began as a small bread and pasta shop and has since grown into a global leader in the pasta industry. The specific product shown, Gnocchi n.85, is a classic durum wheat semolina pasta shape designed to mimic traditional potato gnocchi.

Today, Barilla remains a family-owned business, held by the Barilla Group. While the brand is deeply rooted in Italian culinary tradition and maintains its primary production facilities in Italy (such as the massive Pedrignano plant), it operates manufacturing sites worldwide, including significant operations in the United States and Greece, to meet global demand. The brand is synonymous with the Mediterranean diet and continues to be managed by the fourth generation of the Barilla family.
