Our pasta begins here.
Just water, durum wheat semolina and mountain air.
A story chosen, not inherited.
Returning to begin again. In 2014, we left Emilia-Romagna to return to Monte Sant’Angelo and bring our own project to life. We started in a small garage. Then we reclaimed abandoned land just a few steps from the pasta factory, growing some of our own organic wheat and sourcing the rest from small-scale farmers in Puglia.
Pasta begins long before it reaches the pasta factory.
It begins in the fields of the Gargano: those we cultivate ourselves and those of the small farmers in Puglia who share our care for the land and respect for its natural rhythms.
Nature sets the pace. We listen.
We work with Italian organic semolina, pure water, and mountain air. Bronze die extrusion gives the pasta its rough texture, while slow drying preserves the fragrance and firmness of the wheat.
The Gargano takes shape.
Rough, resilient, and fragrant with wheat. Pasta made to hold its sauce and bring Gargano’s identity to the table. Gargano.
A STORY WE CHOSE, NOT ONE WE INHERITED
Coming home
to begin.
Casa Prencipe isn’t a business we inherited. It’s the project we chose to build.
After years spent in Emilia-Romagna, first studying and then working, we felt the desire to return to Monte Sant’Angelo and create something that was truly our own.
In 2014, we started in a small garage. We then brought abandoned fields near our pasta factory back to life, growing our own organic wheat and working with small farmers across Puglia to create a local, traceable supply chain.
Discover how we work
FROM FIELD TO PASTA FACTORY
Pasta begins long before it reaches the pasta factory.
It begins in the fields we have brought back to life and in those tended by small farmers across Puglia who share our respect for the land. Growing some of our own wheat and sourcing the rest through a local supply chain means knowing our pasta from its very roots.
THE WAY WE WORK
Nature sets the pace.
We follow its lead.
Wheat comes first.
We grow some of our organic wheat in fields we have brought back to life near our pasta factory. The rest comes from small farmers across Puglia whom we know and trust.
Just water, durum wheat semolina and mountain air
A few elements, clearly recognisable. In the heart of Gargano, the environment is not just a backdrop: it shapes the way we produce, every day.
Bronze gives pasta its shape.
Bronze dies give our pasta its rough, firm texture, allowing it to hold sauces beautifully while preserving the aroma of the wheat.
THE RESULT
Il Gargano takes shape
Rough, resilient, and fragrant with wheat. Pasta made to hold its sauce and bring Gargano’s identity to the table. Gargano.
