Benedetto Cavalieri is a pasta legend!
Since 1918, four generations have succeeded at the helm of the family business.
Located in Puglia, not far from Lecce, Benedetto Cavalieri perpetuates unparalleled craftsmanship in making durum wheat pasta with incomparable crunch.

Some say that Benedetto Cavalieri pasta is the Pope's favorite pasta at the Vatican!

The variety of wheat used and the terroir of Puglia certainly explain this difference. Everything is done according to a process that allows the dough to flourish without being "brutalized" in the molds. Slow drying at low temperature guarantees impeccable cooking hold.

Until now, their pasta was almost impossible to find in France...
