La Molisana Gnocchi pasta

La Molisana is a renowned Italian pasta brand that represents over a century of culinary heritage from the Molise region of Italy. Founded in 1912 by the Carlone family in Campobasso, the company began as an artisanal workshop and has since evolved into one of the country's leading pasta producers. This specific product, Gnocchi No. 26, is a durum wheat semolina pasta shaped to resemble traditional potato gnocchi, characterized by a rough surface achieved through traditional bronze-die extrusion.

The brand's operations are deeply rooted in its local landscape, utilizing water from the Matese springs and an integrated supply chain that manages everything from wheat cultivation to the final packaged product. Manufacturing takes place at their state-of-the-art facilities in Campobasso, Italy, ensuring that the entire production process adheres to high quality and authenticity standards.

In 2011, the brand was acquired by the Ferro family (Gruppo Ferro), who have four generations of experience in the milling industry. Under the ownership of the Ferro Group, La Molisana has seen significant international expansion, exporting to approximately 80 countries. As of 2026, the company remains a family-owned entity under Gruppo Ferro, maintaining its status as a premium supermarket brand that competes globally while preserving its traditional Italian identity.
