De Cecco's roots lie in Fara San Martino in Abruzzo, where the family worked as millers from 1831 and began making pasta in 1886. In 1889, Filippo Giovanni De Cecco developed a warm-air drying system that made pasta production less dependent on the weather. The brand remains known for rough-drawn pasta and slow drying at low temperatures.
Pantry's current De Cecco range covers pasta, rice and noodles, with products such as Orecchiette, Fusilli n° 34 and Linguine n° 7.
