History

Once upon a time there were Arrigo and Egletina, two kids with an idea...

...they met at work. They spent the most of their days with their hands in the pasta dough: pastificio Barbieri had been their love nest.

They were so close and so dedicated to they work that they decided to turn it into a passion. Standing on their convinctions and sure of their possibilities, thanks to the techniques learnt during the years in the pasta factory, the 1956 was the year of turning point: Pastificio Andalini & Aleotti was born, a small artisan shop of fresh pasta in the historical city centre of Cento.

 

After more than 60 years their dream is still a solid reality: Pastificio Andalini.

Since 1956 we produce pasta with simple, natural and certified elements, combining traditions with new technologies and awareness.

Only eggs, water and wheat to prepare a good and genuine pasta like once it used to be. This is our story.

Pastificio Andalini: the company

Cento

As of 1956 , Andalini produces pasta in Cento (Ferrara) according to the typical tradition of the Emilia region.
Cento is located in the center of Emilia, close to cities like Ferrara, Bologna and Modena where the traditional gastronomy of Emilia and the “egg pasta” were born.

Mission

From the heart of Emilia comes the egg pasta, produced with the respect of history and gastronomic culture of the territory, with the love for craftsmanship along with controls and the food safety of modern industry.

 

Canosa di Puglia

In 2001 Andalini purchased the local and artisanal pasta producer “La Sovrana di Puglia” in Canosa. The Puglia region is well known as the “wheat barn”, covers around 22% of the national production and has a very long tradition of processing wheat.
Therefore, Andalini has decided to purchase a site that has a long “wheat” tradition to offer also typical products from this part of Italy.

Mission

From Puglia, “Granaio d’Italia” (the granary of Italy), the culture of mediterranean pasta oriented to the production special cuts and organic pasta.
