Barilla Mini Penne Rigate No. 66

Barilla is the world's leading pasta manufacturer, an iconic Italian brand that has become a global household name. Founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla as a small bakery and pasta shop in Parma, Italy, the brand has maintained its heritage through four generations of the Barilla family. The Mini Penne Rigate No. 66 is a smaller version of the traditional ridged penne, designed to hold sauces efficiently in a bite-sized format.

While the brand's heart remains in Parma, Italy—where it operates the largest pasta factory in the world—manufacturing is now international to meet high demand. Barilla operates numerous production sites across Europe, the United States, and beyond. Despite its massive global scale, the company remains privately held by the Barilla family through the Barilla Group, keeping its original Italian management roots intact as it continues to expand its presence in 2026 and beyond.
