DeLallo began as an Italian market in the hardworking industrial town of Jeannette, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh. Founders George and Madeline DeLallo established their marketplace over 60 years ago. The DeLallo family is dedicated to sharing their passion for food with the community, believing each product should tell a story and deliver an authentic Italian experience. Along with living up to its name, origin and method of production, each product makes a promise to the consumer—one of quality and consistency. These principles are at the heart of our success as a trusted, nationally recognized Italian and Mediterranean foods brand. DeLallo Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the past cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.
