The “Pastificio di Chiavenna” was born as a mill in 1868 in the center of Chiavenna along the river Mera.
The water of the river was exploited to produce the necessary energy to move both the millstones and the machines of the mill to produce the pasta.
The old mill, after its restoration, has become an interesting museum of industrial
archaeology, that can be visited all the days and run by the Consorzio Turistico Valchiavenna.
At the end of the ’60s, the Pastificio moved into the current seat at the entrance of Chiavenna.
Starting from the 60s, besides the traditional production of durum semolina wheat pasta, the Pastificio produces also some specialities from Valtellina (the Pizzoccheri), that in this way have come out from the strictly local place of Chiavenna and through the large-scale retail trade are today known and appreciated in all the Italian regions and abroad.
In that period, the Pastificio also obtained by the Ministry of Health the authorization to produce the dietetic pasta, that’s to say pasta with different requirements from the traditional pasta.
From then the activity of the company has specialized more and more in the production of gluten free pasta, baby food pasta and other dietetic pasta.
