OUR MISSION & VALUESWe pay tribute to time-honored pasta-making practices, while looking to the future and meeting today’s nutritional needs. We recapture forgotten flavors, still experimenting with new ingredients. We are committed to being up-to-date with the latest advances pasta and food science, and are HACCP & ISO 22000 certified as meeting international food safety management standards. We are a zero energy waste site, equipped with natural drying chambers, not high-speed drying ovens. |
OUR FAMILY HISTORYIn 1969, our grandfather, Yiorgos Martavaltzoglou, a refugee from Asia Minor, started a bakery in the village of Aravissós, in the Greek province of Macedonia. His children, wanting to maintain the quality of the flour they used, started a mill in 1974 and gradually expanded it to produce traditional pasta, like hilopítes and trahaná. By 2010, we the third generation of the Martavaltzoglou family moved the business to a modern new production facility, continuing to produce the traditional flavors while adding new ones, like spelt, farro and squid ink. |
OUR PRODUCTSOur Agrozimi pasta is not a typical mass-produced pasta. We continue to use our village of Arávissos’ famous spring water and still buy grain from producers with whom our family has nurtured decades-long relationships. We have intentionally built our state-of-the-art production facility with high ceilings and plenty of open space to allow for natural drying chambers, avoiding high-speed drying ovens. We use freshly pasteurized eggs & milk, not powdered, and a selection of our products are made with bronze dies. The result is a texture that holds sauces brilliantly and a flavor that is just as tasty on its own. |
DEDICATED TO QUALITY & SATISFACTION
Our traditional pasta is always bronze-drawn and slowly air dried and we strictly forbid additives, preservatives, artificial flavors, and colorants in our products.
