Join the centenario celebration and experience the rich culinary heritage of Abruzzo with Rustichella d’Abruzzo’s premium pasta and gourmet foods at the prestigious 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show
New York, NY – (June 14, 2024) Rustichella d'Abruzzo, the esteemed Italian producer of artisanal pasta and gourmet foods, is celebrating an extraordinary milestone at the 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show. This iconic event, held at the Javits Center, will see Rustichella d'Abruzzo showcasing its exquisite range of products at the Manicaretti Italian Food Imports booth, located on Level 1, Booth #5843.
For Rustichella d’Abruzzo, making pasta is an art and a century-long family heritage. Established in 1924 in the heart of the Abruzzo region, the pastificio is now led by Gianluigi and Maria Stefania Peduzzi, who honor their grandfather’s legacy by upholding the traditions of artisanal pasta production. Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta is crafted in small batches using top-quality durum wheat semolina blended with pure Apennine mountain spring water, extruded through bronze dies for a rustic texture that holds sauce beautifully, and slowly dried at truly low temperatures to further develop flavor. The result is pasta with a superior taste that cooks to perfectly al dente every time.
Today, Rustichella d’Abruzzo offers Italy's most extensive artisanal pasta line—from traditional shapes such as Spaghetti, Bucatini, and Penne to regional specialties such as Trofie, Fregola Sarda, and Strozzapreti. As Rustichella d’Abruzzo celebrates its 100th Anniversary, the Peduzzi family continues to marry traditional craftsmanship with pioneering innovation and cutting-edge technology in order to share the distinctive taste of Abruzzese pasta with the world.
At the Fancy Food Show, Manicaretti will be serving delicious Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta dishes from 11 am to 2 pm daily, as well as providing samples of their diverse product range throughout the day. Try new pasta offerings such as Egg Rigatoni, enjoy Whole Grain Farro, taste Abruzzese extra virgin olive oils, and more.
Piero Peduzzi, a fourth-generation member of the Peduzzi family and the group strategy manager of Rustichella d'Abruzzo, will be providing insights into the rich history and future of Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Piero brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his previous roles at multinational companies and is a proud ambassador of his precious family legacy.
