The Pasta Factory

The historical formats are the most typical of the centenary tradition of Gragnano. Surely the best known of all is the "Pacchero", but few know the origins of this special format, now also for celiacs. The renowned Pasta format was born from a very particular anecdote entirely from Gragnano. At the end of the 19th century, the “urchins” were dedicated to the collection of minuzzaglia (remains of pasta that fell during drying in the street). Sometimes someone tried to keep this resulting Pasta for himself. The owner of the factory, realizing what had happened, punished them by giving them a loud slap, which in the Neapolitan dialect is indicated by the name "pacchero". La Fabbrica della Pasta is pleased to also give celiacs the opportunity to taste the renowned Pacchero di Gragnano!
