About Barilla

Is Barilla a Public Company?

Barilla is a family business, not listed on the Stock Exchange, chaired by the brothers Guido, Luca and Paolo Barilla. Founded by their great-grandfather, Pietro Barilla opened a bakery in Parma in 1877. Today, Barilla is renowned in Italy and around the world for the quality of its food products.

Where is Barilla Pasta Made?

Barilla Pasta that is sold in the United States is made in our plants in Ames, IA and Avon, NY, with some exceptions. We have products such as Al Bronzo and Pesto that are made in Italy. We also have product that is made in Canada. Barilla opened the Ames plant in 1998 and our Avon plant in 2007. The Barilla family was very concerned about maintaining Barilla's high quality standards in the new plants. Consequently, the machines used in our Ames and Avon plants are the same as used in our plant in Parma, Italy. The recipe is the same as the one used in Parma, Italy. Barilla selects its wheat from the best wheat available.
