Bringing together generations of Italian pasta-making heritage, our artisanal pasta collection partners with historic family-run producers Morelli and Gentile. Founded originally in 1860 and 1876 respectively, these Gragnano factories preserve the tradition of slow craft production. Using only the finest local semolina wheat and spring water from the Lattari Mountains, the Morelli and Gentile families shape exceptional bronzed extruded pastas by hand to dry slowly in the breeze of the region. Their pasta captures a unique texture and flavor profile from century-old techniques enhanced by wheat germ and natural drying methods native to Gragnano. With the fifth generation now guiding production using time-honored machines, small batch pasta of the highest quality arrives at your table through recipes perfected since the days this Italian town earned the nickname “City of Pasta.” Savor tradition in each bite.
This season, let your holiday table sing with the flavors of Italian Christmases past! Our heritage food collections feature cherished treats and pantry staples passed down through generations of Italian families - from garlicky, green-flecked olive oils to hand-rolled pasta dusted with semolina flour; melt-in-your-mouth amaretti cookies to panettone baked golden as the Venetian sun. Each tart, sweet and savory specialty brings a piece of nostalgia and artistry perfected over decades of dolce vita.
