Giovanni Rana pasta packet

Giovanni Rana fresh pasta is rolled very very thinly, indeed 0.5 mm thin so it contains a more generous filling giving you a more delicious taste.

The Story

As an Italian I’ve been surrounded by a true passion for cooking ever since I was a child. I started out as a delivery boy at my father’s bakery in Verona, Italy. It was then that he taught me that even the simplest of foods can be turned into a real delight.

At that time, I found great joy in bread-making and the aromas that came from the oven.

While growing up, “I fell in love” with fresh pasta. When I was about 20 years old, I decided to start my own business making fresh pasta.

It was an unusual time to start this kind of business because people were still making their own pasta at home and few could afford to buy it. My competitors were rolling pins and strong family traditions.

I created my own personal recipes in my kitchen and continued developing them with pointers from housewives.

My first clients were local families who became so increasingly busy with work that they had little time to make fresh pasta at home.

As my business expanded, I made sure that my company would be one capable of preserving its genuine artisan approach. To do so, I use only carefully selected top quality ingredients.

I even patented a pasta processing machine that reproduces the pasta maker’s hand movements. This machine enables the pasta to have a particular texture similar to that of pasta that is prepared from scratch.
