Storci Pasta Center Training & Research
Basically, pasta

Our Pasta Center is a real pasta factory, located in Ferrara (Italy).
Here, Pasta di Canossa is manufactured and distributed.

Behind this project, there is the story of the encounter of two entrepreneurial families in search of new business strategies. An encounter leading to an important outcome.
First, the Di Canossa Family, who, for over a century in San Martino Ferrara, has been taking care of the ancient Tenuta Cuniola, an estate that once belonged to Matilde di Canossa.
Ottavio di Canossa and his father, Alvise, who are currently managing the estate where they grow several types of products, have been looking for some time for a pasta “with the taste of pasta” , as they are not satisfied with the pasta sold in that period that, in their personal opinion,  has no specific features or is excessively refined. For this reason, moved by the idea of finding their own pasta, they take some wheat, grown in their estate, to a nearby mill and try some processing techniques.
They get very favourable reports during the experimental phase of the product, consequently they decide to undertake a new adventure.
A small business starts up and the feedback is very positive, thus they decide to go ahead with this new adventure. In 2013, due to the increase of orders and production process, the Canossa family starts its commercial organization, searching, at the same time, a Company that could help them technologically and create a pasta factory.
And here Storci comes into play: being aware of the essential role that R&D has in a Company, Storci would like to test and effectively develop machines and products, carrying out these researching activities in a site not too much far from Parma..
These needs, along with an immediate, mutual esteem between the Families, gives life to Pasta di Canossa Factory, that also becomes Storci Pasta Center.
