Barilla Aglio Pasta Sauce

Barilla Aglio is a garlic-infused tomato pasta sauce produced by the Barilla Group. The brand was founded in 1877 by Pietro Barilla Sr. in Parma, Italy, starting as a small bread and pasta shop. Over several generations, the Barilla family transformed the business into a global leader in the food industry.

While Barilla produces its dry pasta and other goods in various locations worldwide (including the U.S., Greece, and Turkey), its ready-made sauces are primarily manufactured in Italy. Specifically, the company operates a major, state-of-the-art sauce production facility in Rubbiano, near Parma, which is considered the largest and most sustainable plant of its kind in Europe.

Ownership has remained strictly within the family for over 145 years. As of 2026, the Barilla Group continues to be a private, family-owned entity led by the fourth generation of the Barilla family, maintaining its headquarters in Parma, Italy.
