At Barilla, we believe that the making — and enjoyment — of food is an art. Through our pastas and sauces, we want to bring Americans the best that Italy's culinary traditions have to offer; and through our promotion of Italian food, art, and culture, we want to inspire everyone to share in the values that have guided us for more than a century — a love of life, a devotion to quality, and a respect for tradition.
"To eat doesn't mean only to feed yourself – it means also to love yourself," notes Barilla president Guido Barilla. "To cook is a way to develop relationships, it is a curiosity, and it is entertainment. It is a culture. This is the reason Barilla supports and celebrates gastronomy and all of the arts that bind people together, overcoming the boundaries of nations."
Since its founding in Parma, Italy in 1877, Barilla has been a family-run company, dedicated to producing the highest quality food products for consumers around the world. Barilla America, Inc., the U.S.-based division of The Barilla Group, extends the company's commitment to flavor, convenience, and the highest culinary standards to America, where, following its launch in 1996, Barilla has become the #1 national brand of pasta.
We're grateful that so many Americans have embraced our products and share our excitement about celebrating the ways that good food enriches our daily lives. To learn more about Barilla – our history, our organization, and our family – click on the links below. Buon appetito!

Barilla Traditional Pasta
The Barilla difference begins with the wheat. Barilla starts by selecting only the finest varieties of durum semolina to blend into the family recipe. This superior quality wheat contains high levels of gluten that prevent excessive starch from being released during the cooking process. The cooking water remains clear, the pasta does not clump or stick, it retains its shape and is always perfectly al dente— the term used by Italians to describe the delicate characteristic of pasta being firm, yet tender with a wholesome texture and fulfilling taste.
Pasta- making is an exacting and demanding process. Barilla’s technologically precise milling process, state of the art equipment, and sophisticated quality control techniques contribute to creating perfect pasta. Additionally, Barilla employees receive extensive training in the art of pasta making. They are so in tune with the process of making pasta that they can feel the dough, look at it and make changes accordingly. Barilla’s unique pasta drying process is another critical step in the development of Barilla pasta. Each stage of the pasta making process is monitored, checked and tested extensively.
Always consistent in performance, unsurpassed in taste and texture, Barilla puts perfect pasta on the table every time. It is no wonder that Italians choose Barilla Pasta by an astonishing five-to-one margin and top Italian restaurants around the world are proud to always serve Barilla Pasta.
In Italy, the pasta shape is an integral part of a meal – its building blocks – serving as the foundation for sauces bursting with each region’s herbs, spices, meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Barilla’s pasta collections reflect Italy’s wonderful variety of pasta shapes, with a shape for every dining occasion and an assurance that every variety is of the finest quality. |

Barilla Sauces
Of the myriad of sauces that are a part of Italian cuisine, the most well recognized in America are red sauces like marinara, which actually didn't start to appear in Italy until the 19th century. Many of the red sauces we enjoy today were born from people who were poor, had limited access to a wide variety of fresh ingredients, but who were rich with ingenuity, creativity and a magnificent sense of taste. It was the Neopolitans who were inspired to create the popular "pomodoro", a simple blend of fresh tomatoes and olive oil, as the first documented 'perfect pair' for pasta. When immigrants from southern Italy came to America, they brought along their traditional regional red sauces and introduced them to their new home.
But Italian sauces stretch beyond traditional reds. In restaurants across Italy, chefs explore the use of fish, vegetables, dairy, olive oil and meats to create flavorful broths and sauces to complement any and every pasta imaginable. But one basic rule of thumb always remains constant - retaining simplicity to allow the individual flavors of each ingredient to shine.
With the same commitment to excellence that leads the creation of our pasta, Barilla uses only the highest quality ingredients and the same guiding principles used in households and restaurants in Italy to create our authentic, premium collection of Italian pasta sauces. Our Traditional Red Sauces bring the flavors of Italy to America. |

Barilla Tortellini
At Barilla, making pasta is not just our business – it’s our art. In creating Barilla Tortellini our goal is to capture the same flavors, texture, and taste as fresh, homemade tortellini found in family kitchens throughout Italy.
We begin with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients from the Italian tradition for the fillings and the pasta, crucial for developing superior flavor and texture. Drawing on more than a century of pasta-making expertise, we create a delicate, thin layer of pasta that is never gummy or chewy and will not fall apart during cooking.
Next, we mimic the handmade process by shaping, filling, and pinching these filled pastas one at a time, in the right proportions, just as if they were made by hand in an Italian kitchen. Our distinctive gentle drying process allows the flavor of the fillings to come through the pasta with a lightness and airiness that pleases the palate. Finally, we package the pasta parcels in a high-quality foil pouch to maintain their freshness to ensure that you bring only the best filled pasta to your table. All these efforts help to deliver a taste experience that far exceeds the frozen and refrigerated varieties and one that is as close as you can get to the fresh filled pastas that are found in households across Italy.
Barilla Tortellini are available in two shapes: the traditional bite-size Tortellini and the larger Tortelloni. Try Barilla Tortellini: Cheese & Spinach and Three Cheese and Barilla Tortelloni varieties: Ricotta & Spinach, and Three Cheese. |
