Giovanni Rana Cèpes, Ricotta & Champignons Rôtis fresh pasta

Giovanni Rana is a renowned Italian brand specializing in fresh pasta and Italian food products. Founded in 1962 by Giovanni Rana himself in San Giovanni Lupatoto, Verona, the brand began as a small business focused on handmade tortellini. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global leader in the chilled pasta market, maintaining a focus on high-quality ingredients and traditional Italian recipes.

The product featured, Cèpes, Ricotta & Champignons Rôtis (Porcini, Ricotta & Roasted Mushrooms), is part of their premium filled pasta range. While the heart of their manufacturing remains in Italy—specifically in the San Giovanni Lupatoto facilities—the brand's massive international expansion has led to the establishment of production centers in other countries, including the United States, to serve local markets efficiently.

Ownership of the brand remains remarkably rooted in its history. Pasta Zara or Rana remains a family-owned enterprise. The Pastificio Rana S.p.A. is still controlled by the Rana family, with Gian Luca Rana serving as CEO, ensuring the company preserves its artisanal heritage while operating as a major multinational food group.
