Wheat Selection: We select only the best 'grano duro' (durum wheat) and extract the core, the purest part of the wheat, to retain all the nutritional value and a signature pasta with the distinctive and unique De Cecco taste and the superior cooking performance renowned among all the best Chefs in the world.
Bronze Drawplates: We shape our pasta through bronze drawplates to provide a rough surface similar to homemade pasta to better capture and retain sauce.
Low Temperature and Slow Drying: We dry our pasta slowly at low temperature to preserve both the original color and flavor of our durum semolina as well as retain all the nutritional value.
Cold Spring Natural Water: We knead our semolina with cool spring water from the National Park of Majella at a temperature of less than 59° F to ensure our pasta maintains its firmness after cooking.

De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious €œfresh€ pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes.Buon Appetito! Historically, official mention of the term "spaghetto" can be traced back to the first dictionary of the Italian language by Nicol² Tommaseo and Bernardo Bellini (1819). The word "spaghetto" was included as the "masculine singular diminutive of spago (thread)" and mention is made of "Minestra di Spaghetti" (spaghetti soup) which is pasta the size of a long, thin thread such as sopracapellini". An interesting fact: in 1957, the BBC aired the first documentary on the production of spaghetti and the day after, the television studios were inundated by phone calls from viewers asking for the name of the producers and distributors of spaghetti so they could buy some. Spaghetti is so versatile that it can be served with any condiment, from fish to meat, from vegetables to cheese, but is also excellent served just with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of parmesan. Available in 16.0 oz and 5 lb pack.
