Pure Italian Pasta
“La Molisana’s total commitment to the wheat seed represents a gratitude for nature, and the extraordinary Italian countryside that provides the world with the satisfying simplicity of delicious pasta.”
La Molisana pasta was formed in 1912 by the Corlone Family in the region of Molise, a mountainous territory along the Adriatic Sea. At the core of the family business was a dedication to “goodness” - that every ingredient included in La Molisana pasta should be of the highest quality. This belief has helped guide the company from its early inception to modern times. In 2011, the Ferro Group - a century old Italian milling family - acquired La Molisana. Under their guidance, and in line with the ideals of purity, La Molisana moved from just a producer of pasta to a company that controlled 100% of the supply chain from the corn to the table. This unique position allows La Molisana to ensure every package of its pasta is quality controlled to provide the unmatchable fresh taste of the Italy. Today, La Molisana is the 5th largest pasta producer in Italy, and is known throughout the industry as a beacon of purity.
“Good things are always simple. This is the secret to a successful company”.
Since 1890, Divella has been a producer of durum wheat; a history that began when Francesco Divella opened his first mill for grinding grain in Rutigliano, a small agricultural town near Bari. Now in its fourth generation, the hard work of many people has paid off. Divella sits at a cornerstone of the Italian food sector with three factories employing 280 people. With a simple mission that places quality control, consumer health, and respect for the environment first, and with a production process that combines carefully selected raw materials with modern technology, the family owned Divella company continues to pass on the Apulian traditions of pasta making to the world from its home in Italy.
“The most precious moments are the ones we can dedicate to what we really love. Like a good plate of pasta”.
