Cav Giuseppe Cocco
The Cocco family has been making pasta since 1914. The secrets for great pasta have been in the family for generations. The old pasta masters used to say that you needed four ingredients for great pasta; mountain grown wheat, great water, perfect drying conditions, and the proper techniques. Cav Giuseppe Cocco pasta has all of these including Bronze cutting dyes which produce the rough pasta that holds the sauce better.
Delverde
Set in the spectacular oasis of the Majella National Park, Delverde has been synonymous with natural products of the highest quality since 1967, when the company began production drawing on the rich local pasta-making traditions of the Abruzzo region. Today, forty years later, Delverde is a company in tune with the times, with a large selection of products that are sold worldwide. While our facilities now enjoy state-of-the-art technology, at Delverde we still make our pasta like in the old days, extruding it through a bronze die and letting it slow-dry, benefitting from the pure air of our unspoilt natural surroundings, providing the unmistakable backdrop to our factory since its inception.
