Congratulations! They were pioneers in pasta production. Located in Caldes de Montbui, Barcelona, they make their pastas with top-quality durum wheat semolina and the touch of thermal water from Caldes de Montbui — and nothing else! The secret of good pasta Sanmartí pasta, from 1700, passed down from generation to generation (now nine), has always been made in a traditional artisanal way, something non-negotiable even while maintaining the costly production and drying process. The Sanmartí family describe themselves as fideuers (semoleros — semolina specialists), that is, absolute experts in pasta making.

The quality of the Sanmartí product means you can cook their pasta even 48 hours later and it will still be exquisite. In our shop you'll find, among others, Squid Ink Spaghetti, fideo perla (pearl fideo) for making fideuá, and vegetable spirals, all irresistible.
