See this water? That ends up in your De Cecco Pasta that does. No wonder their predominant brand colour is blue looking at the sapphire sparkle of the mountain water (their own exclusive source, no less).
My family come from the other side of the mountain range where the De Cecco factory nestles in the small town of Fara San Martino, so I decided to pay it a little visit. Sadly the factory was closed (siesta!), but I was mainly looking to visit the factory shop which sells every single shape produced by the company, which run into the hundreds with some weird, wonderful and rare ones to boot that I wanted to share with you.
Hopefully I can get back later in the year for a real snoop around but the surroundings were beautiful, full of fig and olive trees and streams of brain chilling spring water. This just confirmed my love of a really great brand of pasta. (Ps. I'm not affiliated with this brand in any way, I just love it and I'm a pasta geek.)
Wow, Looks gorgeous, hope you get to visit the factory later in the year.
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning location for a 'factory'. I too, love the De Cecco brand of pasta. Not only is the product amazing, the packaging is pretty cool too...
ReplyDeleteFactory shop?! I bet that would be amazing...
ReplyDeleteAnd just like that, I want to visit!
ReplyDelete@Lost in the larder Me too- will probably drag all my friends who are coming out to the village this year too!
ReplyDelete@Cook it I know! Although it was industrial, the little town and the surroundings were lovely. They'd painted the factory really nicely too!
@Su-lin I know! peeked through the window - SO much pasta!
@Kavey. Hmmm maye I should organise a blogger excursion?!
Wow! Incredible location. Love, Love, Love De Cecco pasta - really is a case of pay for what you get with it. More expensive, but it superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Fran, really interesting to see.
