The PGI is a brand that guarantees the origin and quality of the product. In the case of Gragnano Pasta, it also testifies a secular tradition. In Gragnano, since the sixteenth century there were factories for the production of dried pasta. The art of making pasta from durum wheat was handed down from generation to generation for centuries, right up to the present day.
