CATELLI® first started making macaroni and vermicelli by hand in 1867 when an immigrant from Vedano, Italy -- Carlo Onorato Catelli, established Canada's first pasta plant on Saint-Paul Street in Old Montreal.

Since then, the small operation has grown to include a full range of CATELLI® pasta shapes and varieties, as well as an array of delicious pasta and pizza sauces suited to both traditional and contemporary recipes.

Today the Italian tradition continues at CATELLI®. The company is renowned for producing some of the world's best and most innovative pastas. In fact, CATELLI® pasta is so well respected that it is exported to 13 countries worldwide.
