Pastificio Lagano is a Rome-based producer of dried pasta focused on an artisanal approach and carefully controlled production methods. The foundation of its products is 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, while shaping is carried out using bronze dies (trafilatura al bronzo), resulting in a rough surface that allows sauces to adhere more effectively. The pasta is slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve gluten structure and maintain the natural flavor of the grain. The range includes traditional Italian formats such as rigatoni, paccheri, fettuccine, and other classic shapes suited to regional recipes. Once cooked, the texture is firm and elastic, delivering a clearly defined al dente bite. The ingredient list is simple, typically limited to semolina and water, without additives. Pastificio Lagano positions itself in the segment of high-quality artisanal pasta intended for both home cooking and professional gastronomy.
Molino Conti is a family-owned Italian company with a long-standing tradition, founded in 1920 and based in Castel Madama, near Rome. For over a century, the company has nurtured a unique synergy between tradition and innovation in the production of flour and pasta. At the heart of their process is the use of stone milling, an ancient technique that preserves the nutritional value of grains, particularly minerals and the aroma of the wheat germ. In addition, Molino Conti takes pride in operating a fully Italian supply chain, meaning all raw materials are sourced from Italy and every stage of production is controlled within the country.
The company produces high-quality flours as well as both dried and fresh pasta. Their pasta is bronze-extruded and slow-dried at low temperatures for over 20 hours, resulting in a rough-textured product that perfectly captures and holds sauces. Thanks to the careful selection of ingredients, artisanal precision, and strict quality control, Molino Conti has earned a reputation as one of the leading small-scale producers of flour and pasta in the Lazio region and beyond.
