De Cecco Fusilli no. 34

De Cecco is one of the world's most recognized premium pasta brands, deeply rooted in Italian culinary tradition. Founded in 1886 by the De Cecco brothers in Fara San Martino, Abruzzo, the brand built its reputation on the use of high-quality durum wheat and a unique bronze-drawing process that gives the pasta a rough surface ideal for holding sauces. A hallmark of their production is the slow-drying method at low temperatures, which preserves the nutritional value and organoleptic properties of the wheat.

Ownership of the brand has remained remarkably consistent since its inception. De Cecco continues to be owned and managed by the founding De Cecco family through their company, F.lli De Cecco di Filippo Fara San Martino S.p.A. The company maintains its headquarters and primary production facilities in Italy, staying true to its 'Made in Italy' heritage.

In markets like Canada, the product is widely distributed through major grocery chains, often through local distribution partnerships, but the ultimate control and manufacturing remain centered in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The company remains an independent entity, resisting the trend of major food conglomerates acquiring traditional family-owned Italian pasta brands.
