Garofalo present its premium product in transparent packaging, making it instantly recognisable on the shelf with the philosophy there is nothing to hide and everything to share, and with the belief that high quality pasta is beautiful to look at.
Garofalo History and Knowledge
The history of Garofalo is strongly linked with the history of Gragnano, the town near Naples chosen as the home land of pasta thanks to its geographical position; ideal for pasta making because of the local spring water and the passing winds which made Gragnano a huge open-air drying system, perfect for drying pasta dough.
in 1789 the name Garofalo first appeared when it obtained the license for the production and sales of high-quality pasta. Garofalo soon became the most important pasta manufacturer in Gragnano with its two plants, one for long pasta cuts and the other short pasta cuts.
Over 200 years of experience are huge advantage in pasta making for Garofalo; second and third generation workers have incorporated decades of knowledge in the art and skill of pasta making, artisan first then industrial later

Garofalo Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta
Garofalo makes its premium Italian pasta with only two ingredients, wheat and water. You can’t produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used. We only choose wheat that, in addition to a specific gluten level, offers a particular colour, cleanliness and flavour characteristics. These are essential to give Pasta Garofalo its distinctive character.
Garofalo pasta has a rough porous surface due to the dough passing through a bronze die to form each shape, allowing the sauce to stick and absorb into the cooked pasta.
Garofalo Gluten Free Pasta
For Italians living without pasta is not an option and so Garofalo developed its gluten free pasta range with the philosophy – Good taste is a right. The recipe was carefully developed using corn, brown rice and quinoa and formed through a bronze die for taste and texture.
Garofalo Gluten Free pasta is a taste opportunity for everyone not just those on a gluten free diet.
Garofalo pasta, both durum wheat and gluten free is all egg free and therefore suitable for vegan diets.
