Since 1950 100% Made with Bronze Plates Cook 8 Min 100% Whole Grain - 20 g or More Per Serving Eat 48 g or More of Whole Grains Daily USDA Certified by ICEA The art of making pasta begins with the selection of the whole wheat grain. We select only the finest Italian whole wheat that has been ally grown and harvested throughout Italy. The carefully milled whole wheat grain is then combined with cool filtered water and kneaded gently to an exact consistency which is then extruded into various shapes through bronze plates. These bronze plates are what give our pasta its unique coarse texture that allows the sauce and the pasta to adhere to one another, permitting their individual flavors to marry into a delectable palate. DeLallo pasta follows artisan workmanship, which calls for the pasta to be dried slowly at low temperature to retain nutrients and, most importantly, its full flavor. The result of our labor is authentic, 100% Whole Wheat Italian pasta made with integrity. Thank you & enjoy!
