Nacional Argolinhas pasta

Nacional is an iconic Portuguese brand with a legacy dating back to 1848. It is widely recognized in Portugal for its high-quality wheat-based products, including pasta, flour, biscuits, and breakfast cereals. This specific product, 'Argolinhas', is a small ring-shaped pasta commonly used in soups and traditional recipes.

The brand is manufactured domestically in Portugal, primarily at facilities owned by the Cerealis Group. Nacional has maintained a strong market presence by balancing its historical heritage with modern production techniques. Today, it stands as a household name that symbolizes the rich tradition of Portuguese milling and food production.

Since 2005, Nacional has been under the ownership of Cerealis, the largest pasta and flour producer in Portugal. Cerealis was later acquired in 2021 by a joint venture between the Morey and Silva families through their investment vehicles, ensuring that the brand remains under Portuguese corporate control.
