Is De Cecco the best pasta?
Chef's answer
Why De Cecco Is a Better Dry Pasta The reason De Cecco is preferred is because it's a higher-quality product. While both De Cecco and Barilla hail from Italy and use 100% semolina flour (the flour of choice for dry pasta), De Cecco takes an extra measure: they use bronze dies to cut the pasta.
