Our Family story, since 1877
Barilla's Roots
We are one of the largest pasta and food producers in the world. Still, we are family-owned, in love with good food and inspired by the desire to feed the future.
A journey of taste, family and purpose
From Pietro Barilla's small pasta store, opened in Parma in 1877, to today, the company has grown, but Barilla's beating heart has remained the same: a deep passion for food and an unbreakable bond with family tradition.
Rooted in tradition, shaped by Passion
Today, Barilla is present all over the world — but what truly makes the difference are the passionate people behind every product. Their daily commitment turns our promise of quality into a reality for everyone, everywhere.
More than food: our legacy of care
“The joy of food for a better life” is our purpose and expresses the foundation of our existence. It’s about us and our commitment for people and for the planet: offering wholesome products, made with high quality ingredients from sustainable supply chains.
