Packaging represents the final link in our organic pasta supply chain.
To ‘close the circle’ in a sustainable manner, we also manage this step directly, using environmentally friendly materials and packaging methods with the lowest possible impact.
We support the circular economy
Sustainability
We are naturally attentive to the sustainability of our organic pasta and to the mark we leave on the community and the environment.
We were named Fair Economy Ambassadors in 2020 and we also adhere to the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

Our sustainable packaging choices
We have chosen paper for our packaging, identifying two types of packaging for our two main lines:
For our organic durum wheat pasta, our most affordable range, we have chosen a Terpap reel:
- 100% paper from responsibly managed forests
- Certified class ‘A’ Aticelca
- Printed using only water-based, solvent-free inks and heat-sealing lacquers
For our Grani Antichi organic pasta, our most precious range, we have chosen a paper bag:
- 100% recyclable
- From responsibly managed forests
- With separable window made of cellulose film (Natureflex), can be disposed of with organic waste
The window, applied to the register to avoid waste, enhances the texture and colour of our ancient grain pastas, doing justice to the richness of nuances that we wanted to bring to your table.
