De Cecco Spaghetti no.12 - 500g packet

Long Pasta 

Historically, official mention of the term "spaghetto" can be traced back to the first dictionary of the Italian language by Nicolò Tommaseo and Bernardo Bellini (1819). The word "spaghetto" was included as the "masculine singular diminutive of spago (thread)" and mention is made of "Minestra di Spaghetti" (spaghetti soup) which is pasta the size of a long, thin thread such as sopracapellini". An interesting fact: in 1957, the BBC aired the first documentary on the production of spaghetti and the day after, the television studios were inundated by phone calls from viewers asking for the name of the producers and distributors of spaghetti so they could buy some.

Spaghetti is so versatile that it can be served with any condiment, from fish to meat, from vegetables to cheese, but is also excellent served just with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of parmesan.

De Cecco: Bringing Authentic Italian Flavour to Your Table

De Cecco is a renowned Italian company with over 130 years of experience and a rich heritage in crafting traditional and high-quality pasta and other food products. Since 1886, they've been a leading force in bringing the taste of Italy to kitchens around the world.

The De Cecco story began in Fara San Martino, Italy (“La Capitale della Pasta” - “The Pasta Capital”), where the De Cecco brothers established their mill and pasta factory. They were pioneers in using industrial drying methods, ensuring consistent quality and perfect texture in every box of De Cecco pasta.

De Cecco crafts its pasta using cold mountain water, a coarse bronze drawing, creating a rough texture that perfectly holds sauce, and "lenta essicazione" - a slow drying process, which results in the al dente perfection that Italians have loved for generations.

De Cecco is dedicated to preserving the culinary heritage of Italy and offers a variety of authentic Italian products beyond their world-renowned pasta. 
Every De Cecco product is made with the finest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.
