Canuti

The story of Canuti Tradizione Italiana is one of those genuine Italian stories that speaks of love for its own roots, passion for pasta and a taste for innovation. It all starts with Mario Canuti who, in the early 1950s began the dream when he opened a small pasta making workshop in Rimini. In the 1960’s the dream takes shape with Mario’s five children entering the business to open a larger premise which fuels distribution growth and establishes Canuti as a major reference point for quality artisan pasta in Emilia Romagna. In the mid-1970s, pasta vans are seen delivering our fresh pasta up and down the Riviera coast to hotels and restaurants. During this period, the Canuti family begin also selling to Italian supermarket groups there much loved pasta. In the 1980’s, with major advances made in deep freezing technology, the company starts to focus its intention on deep fresh frozen pasta which eventually becomes the platform for expansion into International markets as far away as Japan, as products could now be produced and delivered without changing the organoleptic qualities of pasta and importantly without adding preservatives.
