QUALITY MEANS TRADITION

Quality is the goal to be achieved every day, starting from the great tradition of the area, from a past of incredible pasta makers, of wonderful raw materials, of punctual and wide gesture repeated endlessly. Today the tradition is renewed, through a new vision of production, ready to satisfy larger and more competitive markets, bringing the great Sicilian quality everywhere.

ENTREPRENEURS, ARTISANS

Pasta is a miracle of artisanal method. Wise gestures, always the same, the bronze dies that give a rough product, capable of marrying with any seasoning, the correct drying time to return an intact, tenacious pasta. The next step is to guarantee the same process, healthy and traditional.

This is Donna itriya’s challenge: a technologically advanced production that does not derogate from what the artisan tradition has given us.

MISSION

MAKE THE TRADITION CURRENT

Research has led to the choice innovative and cutting-edge technologies. It is the modern revival of Artisanal method, with a modern and current entrepreneurial eye.

The standard set is very high, the raw material is selected, followed step by step from the beginning of the cultivation, to the harvest, to the milling. Efficiency, protocols, attention and control are Donna itriya’s watchwords, in the entrepreneurial revival of the great artisan tradition.

TRIA

Tria was born from the impulse of a close-knit group of successful entrepreneurs and professionals of the Sicilian landscape who share a burning passion for their land. Their mission is to promote the authentic gastronomic culture that is its expression.

The goal, that keeps the group, is to give life to a product that can be a symbol of excellence and uniqueness, which represents a quality approach to contemporary gastronomic culture. “Donna itriya” is a tribute to the “itriya” that saw the light of its own in this territory.

In the logo is flanked the figure of a woman’s profile, a both tribute to the Sicilian land’s fertility and a symbol of the family nucleus that in the daily imagination meets to have a meal in the domestic fireplace’s intimacy.

The unity of purpose summed up in this symbol is the desire to propose an excellent artisan pasta, made with semolina, one of the best grains that grows spontaneously on the island and is mixed with pure water that dried it slowly at low temperatures thanks to the patience of best of master’s pasta makers that for generations had taken care of this gastronomic, cultural and historical richness.

Tria, with its own Donna itriya pasta factory, is the embodiment of a tradition neglected for too long: both the honor and the burden of bringing to light the foundations of the original pasta making art with the intention of perfecting it through the use of latest generation machinery, capable of creating an impeccable manufactured product, respecting its own deeply crafted feature. Donna itriya accounts for the story of the pasta’s origin all over the world.
