Pastificio Italyca

Pastificio Italyca is a young Lucanian company, started on the threshold of 2020 in the hills around Matera. It was born from its founder's passion for the ancient pasta-making traditions of the Matera area, and from the wish to bring them to the table with a modern, organic approach.

The pasta is made exclusively from high-quality durum wheat grown around Matera, with a high protein content, chosen for the climate and the character of these soils. The supply chain is short: local farmers are paid fairly, so that they can plan their work and investments over time.

The whole process is artisanal, to preserve tradition and the flavour and nutritional properties of the pasta. Pastificio Italyca makes both fresh and dry pasta, organic and ICEA certified, in traditional shapes such as orecchiette, cavatelli, strascinati, trofie and fusilli, including versions flavoured with peperone crusco, and also offers organic extra virgin olive oil.
