Joyful, Wholesome and Honest Food Barilla builds transparent and efficient relationships with farmers in order to guarantee its own high standards of product consistency and quality. We promote the cultivation of sustainable durum wheat. Giving farmers the whea
variety that is the most suitable for their land means granting them an increase of yields, a reduction of costs of up to 30% and a net profit per hectare that is about 20% higher than in a traditional system.

Our Value Proposition, Double Cooking Offers Great Taste and Value Pasta is great for business. The recipes are good, tasty and fun to eat. But because they are also quick and easy to prepare, restaurants have a great opportunity for high margins. With double cooking, the pasta is mostly cooked prior to serving, so delicious pasta plates can be ready in just 60 seconds. Customers are served sooner, making them happier and there is less food waste in the kitchen. Serving customers sooner doesn’t just benefit the restaurant’s reputation for good service, it also means customers will finish sooner giving restaurants a chance to have second or third settings in one evening.
“Basically, we are pasta makers and bakers; this is the line of work our family has pursued over the last four generations, with the help of outstanding coworkers. It is the only line of work we can and try to improve every day.” - GUIDO BARILLA

QUALITY LEADS TO SAVINGS The best way to SAVE MONEY is to buy the RIGHT PASTA FOR YOUR USAGE. For restaurants, pasta recipes are very profitable. It costs less compared to meat or fish, and the profit margin on a finished plate is much higher. But a CHEAPER pasta may NOT lead to SAVINGS. The right pasta will make your recipes more profitable while increasing their gastronomic quality, even if it costs more per kilo. Using a low quality pasta can ruin your whole dish, and waste the precious ingredients used for the sauce. Quality pasta is more expensive, but it does improve the final dish, so it is important to choose the right ingredients to guarantee high customer satisfaction. Our Quality Barilla selects the best varieties of wheat from all over the world to ensure an excellent product quality.
Approximately 70% of the durum wheat comes from local farmers who are close to where we produce our pasta. Pasta sold in Canada contains durum wheat grown in the southern prairies of western Canada, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Canada is the ideal place to cultivate durum wheat because it has hot arid summers and light brown soil. We conduct controls on 100% of the batches of wheat purchased, all the lots of pasta produced and every stage of the production process. It carries out over 200,000 quality analyses every year. Our Commitment To Our Customers, and The Planet Our mission “Good for You, Good for the Planet” means our pasta is made from non-GMO ingredients, containing no traces of GMOs or GMO derivatives. We commit to serving pasta that is good food meaning it is full of flavour, adds to the culinary experience and evokes the feelings of pleasure and conviviality. 5
We also commit to serving healthy food that is made from raw materials, that can contribute to clean and safe recipes and provide balanced nutritional profiles to support healthy lifestyles. Finally, it is imperative that our pasta is sourced from responsible supply chains. This means purchasing ingredients and processing them in a way that is sustainable, transparent and respectful of people, animals and the environment. Barilla follows a code of Sustainable Agriculture. The key requirements of this code include: Seeking efficiency and competitiveness of the productive system Safeguarding business integrity and applying the Code of Ethics Promoting health and food safety Reducing environmental impact Listening and collaborating for continuous development

THE TRUTH ABOUT PASTA As a carbohydrate, pasta is sometimes given a bad rap. Some consumers have misconceptions about nutritional value, portion sizes and how pasta might fit into special kinds of diets. Barilla is excited to show you the truth about pasta and get rid of some common consumer misconceptions. Pasta is the Corner Stone of the World’s Healthiest Diets In Italy, pasta is eaten regularly as part of the country’s “Mediterranean Diet,” which nutritionists consider to be one of the world’s healthiest ways to eat. Pasta also provides a delicious culinary vehicle in which to incorporate more vegetables into your eating plan.
Pasta is a Simple and Satisfying way to Get Your Daily Dose of Grains If you eat a reasonable portion of cooked pasta—one to two cups—you’ll be getting two to four of the recommended daily servings of grain-based foods. Making sure half of your grains are whole grain is easily enjoyed through pasta. Pasta is a Calorie Friendly, Low-Sodium Food A one to two cup serving of cooked pasta is calorie friendly (about 200), low in fat (about 1 gram, with no saturated or trans fats), cholesterol free, and low in sodium (unless you add salt to the cooking water).
6
A Healthy Portion of Cooked Pasta is About the Size of a Baseball One key to a healthful meal is keeping portions right sized – one cup of cooked pasta, the size of a baseball, is an appropriate portion size. Serve your pasta in a small bowl or plate to make it look like a bigger portion. Add vegetables to bulk up your pasta meal and add vitamins, minerals and fiber. Pasta is a Sustainable Food Plant based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains and pasta, are beneficial for our bodies while also providing the smallest environmental impact according to the Double Pyramid 2012 – Enabling Sustainable Food Choices from the Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition.
