Gentile

Pastificio Gentile, founded in 1876, is one of the historic artisan pasta factories that helped make the city of Gragnano globally famous for its pasta. The company has remained a cornerstone of the Italian culinary tradition, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality. 

While Gentile is best known for its pasta, it has also expanded its product range to include other Italian delicacies, such as preserves, cookies and the iconic panettone. Despite this diversification, the company continues to uphold its artisanal methods and meticulous attention to detail in every product it produces. 

In pasta-making, Gentile maintains traditional techniques like bronze-extrusion, which ensures a rough texture that holds perfectly sauces and slow-drying processes that preserve flavour and texture. From the careful selection of raw materials to precise control over every stage of production, Gentile ensures each product reflects the brand's legacy of excellence. 

Beyond pasta, Gentile’s preserves capture the essence of Italy's finest fruits and vegetables, its cookies deliver authentic, homemade flavour, and its panettone embodies the rich, festive spirit of Italian holiday traditions. 

Rooted in Gragnano and enriched by a history of quality and innovation, Pastificio Gentile remains committed to producing exceptional, handcrafted products that bring the true taste of Italy to tables around the world.
