The De Cecco family started milling in 1831 at Fara San Martino: A real vocation which in 1886 evolved into an authentic art of pasta-making. A long history of passion that combines only the best wheat and the unique know-how of ancient pasta-making traditions to produce a Supeior Quality Pasta. 1. Slow Drying: It was in 1889, as noted in the Treccani Encyclopaedia, when Filippo De Cecco invented the first machine designed for slow drying at a low temperature. To this day, we still use the same method to better preserve the flavor and aroma of the wheat and the natural color of our semolina in order to guarantee a superior quality whole wheat pasta. From the first bite, our whole wheat pasta bursts with an exceptional aromatic intensity and a bold flavor with no trace of bitterness, as proven by sensory studies using devices. 2. The Best Durum Wheats: We select the best durum wheats from Italy and the rest of the world in terms of gluten quality, healthiness, protein content and organoleptoc characteristics in order to constantly guarantee, despite the variability of the crops, an al dente pasta with an intense taste to savor. 3. Wholly from Our Mill: The semolina used in our De Cecco Whole Wheat Pasta comes directly from our own mill, where the best durum wheat is ground. Our method preserves the valuable wheat germ and gives our pasta the whole flavor of the grain. 4. Cold Majella Mountain Water: We make our dough solely with cold water from the Majella mountains, at a temperature of less than 59 degrees F ensuring perfect firmness when cooked. 5 Bronze Drawn: We craft our pasta with bronze draw plates to guarantee the ideal porosity to best capture the sauce. 6. Naturally Rich in Fiber and Phosphorus: De Cecco Whole Wheat Pasta is naturally rich in fiber and phosphorus, and is a natural source of protein, iron, thiamine (vitamin B1), magnesium all contribute to a normal metabolism of energy. A varied and balanced diet, and a healthy lifestyle, are key to good health. The quality of our pasta is certified. DNV-GL certified product.
