Is Etto Pasta made in the USA?

Yes. Etto Pasta is produced in Paso Robles, California using organic durum wheat semolina milled from American-grown wheat. It is not imported from Italy or any other country.

What are the ingredients in Etto Pasta?

Etto Pasta contains two ingredients: organic durum wheat semolina and water. No additives, no preservatives.

Is Etto Pasta organic?

Yes. Etto Pasta is certified USDA Organic. We use organic durum wheat semolina milled from American-grown wheat.

What is bronze-die pasta?

Bronze-die extrusion means the pasta dough is pushed through bronze molds rather than industrial Teflon dies. This creates a rougher, more porous surface that grips sauce far better than smooth commercially-made pasta. All Etto Pasta is bronze-die extruded.

How is Etto Pasta dried?

Etto Pasta is slow-dried for 19 hours at low temperatures. This preserves the integrity of the semolina and produces authentic al dente texture when cooked.

Where is Etto Pasta made?

Etto Pasta is made in Paso Robles, California, USA. It is an American-made artisan pasta brand, not an import.

How is Etto Pasta different from supermarket pasta?

Etto Pasta differs from supermarket pasta in three key ways: it uses a single ingredient (organic durum wheat semolina), it is extruded through bronze dies for a sauce-gripping texture, and it is slow-dried for hours rather than industrially force-dried. The result is pasta with more flavor, better texture, and superior sauce adhesion.

The tour provided amazing insight into the manufacturing process, the extremely high quality ingredients used, and the time consuming process utilized to preserve the quality of the pasta. Great job ETTO!

Pasta e Vino Tour - $50

Behind the curtain tour at Etto

what fun! we completely nerded out at the pasta factory - we learned so much and will forever after avoid eating non-organic US wheat! what pride everyone had about the plant and the pasta you’re producing, Lunch at Etto was - as always - a huge treat, helped along by gift cards in our factory bling bags! Brian himself poured our tasting at Giornata - he got roped in (not his usual gig) - but we got to hear him talk about what & how Etto/Giornata is trying to achieve. Respect to all of you for building a great small business in Paso Robles!
