The Cocco family can boast a family tradition which dates back to 1914. In 1944 Giuseppe Cocco took up his father's trade, searching through bomb-site rubble for machine parts used by former pasta-makers. With this sort of machinery, and those memories and those secrets, the Cocco family today produces in the village of Fara San Martino the pasta of those times gone by - just as good as it used to be. What makes the pasta produced here unique? The excellent physical properties of the spring water from the River Verde and the dry, windy microclimate of the place, perfect for the drying process.
