From Father to Son: The De Cecco family started milling in 1831 at Fara San Martino: a real vocation which in 1886 evolved into an authentic art of pasta-making. A long history of passion that combines only the best wheat and the unique know-how of ancient pasta-making traditions to produce a superior quality pasta. Slow drying: It was 1889, as recorded in the Treccani Encyclopaedia, when Filippo Giovanni De Cecco invented the first low-temperature slow-drying system. We still use the same method today to best preserve the natural flavor and aroma of wheat and the natural color of our semolina for a superior quality pasta. 2.
