The Colavita Pasta company was founded in 1912 in the small hilltop town of Sant'Elia a Pianisi, in Molise, Italy a region where the rolling hills are still today covered by golden fields of wheat. The Colavita family draws upon the resources of their homeland, Molise, to produce superb pasta using only 100% durum wheat semolina and fresh mountain spring water with no salts or artificial ingredients added. Pasta is a fundamental component of the Mediterranean diet, and Colavita Pasta is the authentic Italian choice for home cooks and chefs the world over.
