Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri is proud to carry forward a heritage that, generation after generation, represents the very best of Italian pasta-making tradition.
Its pasta is made exclusively from carefully selected varieties of durum wheat grown in Italy, chosen for their superior quality and natural flavour. The dough is processed using the traditional “Delicate Method,” a slow and gentle approach that preserves the integrity of the wheat and enhances both taste and texture.
Each pasta shape is bronze-drawn, giving the surface a naturally rough, porous texture that allows sauces to adhere beautifully, delivering a more authentic and satisfying dining experience.
Available in 6 shapes in our range.
Benedetto Cavalieri Penne Rigate Pasta
Founded in 1918 in the heart of Apulia, Southern Italy, Benedetto Cavalieri is one of Italy’s most respected artisanal pasta makers. Rooted in a family tradition that dates back to the 1800s, the Cavalieri family has dedicated generations to cultivating and selecting exceptional durum wheat from the sun-drenched fields of Apulia and Basilicata.
The company was established by Benedetto Cavalieri Sr., who combined deep agricultural knowledge with a commitment to innovation and uncompromising quality. At a time when pasta was commonly dried outdoors, he introduced advanced indoor drying techniques to better preserve texture, flavor, and consistency — a philosophy that continues to define the brand today.
Still family-owned after more than a century, Benedetto Cavalieri is now led by the fourth generation of pasta makers, continuing a legacy built on carefully selected wheat, traditional craftsmanship, and slow production methods that enhance both taste and digestibility.
Renowned by chefs and food lovers around the world, Benedetto Cavalieri pasta is celebrated for its rich wheat flavor, firm texture, and exceptional ability to hold sauces. The company’s dedication to excellence has earned numerous international awards and recognition, including its role as a Learning Centre for the University of Gastronomic Sciences founded by Slow Food.
Every package reflects over a century of Italian pasta-making heritage — bringing authentic Apulian craftsmanship to tables around the world.
