Found this absolutely insane. I already am skeptical about the difference in quality of pasta shipped in from Italy, but it’s not like Turkey is world-renowned for their pasta like Italy is.
Personally making the swap to purchasing Unico branded pasta since they’re made in Canada with Canadian wheat, and I know Italpasta is also made here as well. Figured sharing this information may help people make a swap, but also curious about other brands that make their pasta within our borders rather than ship them in.
Don’t ask where the olives in “Italian” olive oil come from.
Italpasta has a plant in Brampton, one of the hottest building’s I’ve ever been inside.
I believe Costco has a similar problem with imported spaghetti pasta from Italy albeit a little a bit closer to the great white north.
Even their non-No name, PC brand pasta is from turkey.
Only the really expensive black label PC pasta is from italy.
TBH, i ate the PC brand pasta (from turkey) for many years and it was quite good
But i’ve stopped giving money to galen weston and co since almost 2 years ago.
