Our Family story, since 1877
Our Company
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, community, 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 and community.
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 our commitment to people and the planet: offering carefully crafted products, with high quality ingredients.
