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.
