    ITALFOODS Pasta Guide 2015 A BRIEF HISTORY OF PASTA - IT WASN’T MARCO POLO…. Although, Marco Polo did come across some kind of soft dough filled with meat – think steamed dumplings – in his Asian travels and though that may have ultimately led to the Italian tradition of stuffed pasta such as ravioli - Mr. Polo did not bring pasta to the Italians. It was already there. It is thought that Etrusco-Romans had a layered dish in which they used a noodle made from durum wheat – the noodle was called “lagane”. Sound familiar? Historians believe this was where modern day lasagne comes from. This food, mentioned in the first century AD, was not boiled like pasta, it was cooked in an oven. Dried and subsequently boiled pasta is thought to have arrived in Sicily with the Arabs somewhere in the eighth century. In fact it was in Palermo, Sicily that a factory began to produce dried pasta for local export in the twelfth century. Initially pasta was prepared by street vendors and eaten with ones hands. It was the common mans food and was simply served sprinkled with a little cheese. Sauce did not really come into existence until tomatoes were discovered in the New World and then brought back to Italy. Even then the people feared that the tomato was a poisonous fruit because it is a member of the Nightshade family. Inevitably pasta spread throughout the Italian peninsula and Europe due to its great shelf life and portability. Naturally when Italians migrated west to the United States they brought their culinary traditions with them.

  • The Positioning of the National and Private Label Brands in the Different Segments of the Italian Pasta Market
    Rivista di Economia Agraria, Anno LXXI, n. 1 (Supplemento), 2016 The positioning of the national and private label brands in the different segments of the Italian pasta market Luca Cacchiarelli – Università della Tuscia Alessandro Sorrentino – Università della Tuscia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In the Italian agro-food industry pasta represents a strategic product since Italy has the peculiarity of being, at the same time, the main producer and consumer of pasta. In the last years, Italian food retailing, as in all developed countries, has experienced some developments. This work, which represents a preliminary study on the Italian pasta market, focuses on how national and private label brands are positioned in the different segments of the Italian pasta markets. A way to reach such goal is to investigate on retail price and price promotions in Italy and 4 Italian macro-regional areas. The average prices show that at the national level different market segments exist with three national brands positioned at the highest level, following by an intermediate segment in which we find brand leader (Barilla) which competes with private label brands. The private labels products, which present a regular price lower than national brands, are sold without promotions. the frequency of price promotions concerns mainly the brands positioned in the higher market segment and the market leader. Finally, there is a moderate there is a relevant degree of heterogeneity in the results across the selected regional areas. Keywords national brand, private label, price promotions, pasta Introduction Pasta represents a strategic product in the Italian agro-food industry: Italy is the world’s leading pasta producer, with an output worth 3.2 million tons in volume terms.
