All of this is possible thanks monitoring of the production process that runs along the entire integrated and traced supply chain, which includes one-to-one contracts with about a thousand farms».

Its drawing was devised by the chef and testimonial Alessandro Borghese and it is 100% Italian wheat without glyphosate and pesticide residues. «Innovation can also be found in the production processes, on the PastaSense line, one of the most modern in Italy, which applies artificial intelligence to just-in-time controls, achieving greater efficiency with less waste of resources».
