Since 1918, Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri has been producing pasta of the highest quality in Maglie, in the heart of Salento. It is a family story built on knowledge of durum wheat, careful selection of raw materials and slow processing, giving the pasta flavour, consistency and the ability to enhance every condiment.
A story born from durum wheat
The history of Benedetto Cavalieri began even before the foundation of the pasta factory, with a family already connected to the cultivation and milling of wheat. This direct relationship with the raw material has shaped a precise production culture over time: understanding wheat, respecting its characteristics and transforming it without forcing the natural pace of the process.
Why choose Benedetto Cavalieri?
Choosing Benedetto Cavalieri means choosing a historic Italian pasta factory that has built its identity on family continuity, technical expertise and attention to the quality of the finished product. Pasta is not considered simply a basic food, but an ingredient capable of creating emotion. Everything starts from rigorous rules: selected durum wheat, mixing and kneading that respect the raw material, bronze drawing, slow low-temperature drying. This is how history and the experience developed over time become a tangible value.
The Metodo Delicato: when time becomes quality
The Metodo Delicato is the production process that defines Benedetto Cavalieri pasta. It includes prolonged mixing, slow kneading, controlled pressing, bronze drawing and low-temperature drying. Each phase helps respect the structure of the semolina, preserve the aroma of the wheat and obtain a pasta capable of enhancing consistency, firmness, pleasure to the bite and perfect amalgam with the condiment.
