A few words about our  pasta 

Orexa pasta origin

We use only the best raw material   consisted of 100% durum wheat which we mostly get from the mainlands  of Greece. The greek climate offers ideal circumstances for the cultivation of  wheat  since it grows well in cool, moist climate and ripens in a warm, dry climate. The cool winters and the hot summers are conducive to a good crop.

A small portion of history

Greek Mythology refers to the fact that Hephaestus, the god of fire, had constructed a tool to make strings of dough (the first spaghetti). 
The name ‘macaroni’ possibly comes from the Ancient Greek word ‘macaria’. This referred to the offering that the Ancient Greeks used to place on the tombs of the dead and was made of oil, wine and dried flour products.

It may or may not be far-fetched, if one considers that wheat-based foods, usually sweetened, are highly symbolic of rebirth and regeneration and thus have always been associated with the foods served in honor of the dead. 

The ancient Greeks had a kind of primitive pasta in the form of a grilled batter they called laganum. The word may be the etymological root of what the Italians call lasagna.
