Organic pasta by Antico Pastificio Umbro is produced with 100% Italian grain, slow dried at a low temperature and bronze drawn. Processing techniques and the use of carefully selected raw materials make the Organic “Bio” line healthy and delicious.

In the green valley at the bottom of Monte Subasio right between Assisi, Perugia and Spoleto – jewels of the geen Umbria region – there is the ancient factory of Antico Pastificio Umbro producing pasta and rice in the old traditional way. Around 1921-1925 a few elder workers learned the method of using bronze extruders and cutting the pasta by hand which dries slowly for a long time.
