From the manufacturer


Garofalo Premium Italian Pasta from Naples
Garofalo is an Italian company specialising in the production of Pasta. Based in Gragnano in the province of Naples, the company was founded in 1789 when Mr. Garofalo obtained by Roya Decree the official license for making and selling ‘’well-made pasta”. Since then Garofalo pasta has been synonymous with excellence.
Today Garofalo combines artisan knowledge and modern technology in its BRC factory, still located in the town of Gragnano.
Garofalo makes its premium Italian pasta with only two ingredients, wheat and water.
You can’t produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used. We only choose wheat that, in addition to a specific gluten level, offers a particular colour, cleanliness and flavour characteristics. These are essential to give Pasta Garofalo its distinctive character.
Garofalo pasta has a rough porous surface due to the dough passing through a bronze die to form each shape, allowing the sauce to stick and absorb into the cooked pasta.
Garofalo Pasta Suitable for Vegan Diets
All Garofalo Signature Pasta is suitable for Vegan diets and does not contain any egg.
There is a reason why Garofalo pasta does not contain egg. Traditionally pasta made without the addition of egg, just using strong flour and water, was more common from Southern Italy. Garofalo has been making pasta since 1789 in Gragnano, a town near Naples in Campania in Southern Italy, and follows the traditions and does not add egg to its Signature range of pasta
Rules for Cooking Pasta
The golden rule for cooking pasta is 1, 10, 100
- That is 1 litre of Water and 10 grams of Salt for every 100gs of Pasta.
- This means starting with a large tall pot filled with cold water, placed on a high heat.
- Bring the water to a fast boil and then add the salt.
- When the water is boiling and you have added the salt, it is time to add the pasta. Never add pasta to cold water!
- If the water is boiling well and you stir the pasta frequently whilst it cooks, there will be no need for any type of oil
- Cook the pasta for the recommended time on the pack
- When draining the pasta it is important to save some of the cooking water and note that the pasta does not need to be rinsed.
- Once drained it is time to add the pasta to the ready prepared hot sauce; that way round, and not the sauce to the pasta.
Pasta Di Gragnano IGP
Many of Garofalo pasta shapes have the Pasta di Gragnano IGP seal a recognition that means our pasta is made in Gragnano to very high specific standards require for the status.
Proud of this recognition that binds us to to our local area we display it on the packaging of our various pasta shapes

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2025Style Name: DitaloniVerified PurchaseI've been a fan of Garofalo pasta for a while, and their Ditaloni Rigate did not disappoint. This small, ridged tube pasta is ideal for hearty soups like minestrone or pasta e fagioli.
What sets Garofalo apart is the quality—made from 100% durum wheat semolina, the pasta holds its shape beautifully and has a satisfying bite (al dente) when cooked properly. The ridges (rigate) are perfect for holding onto sauces, making every bite flavorful.
It cooks evenly, doesn’t turn mushy, and you can really taste the difference compared to supermarket brands.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian pasta with excellent texture and flavour.
