This month at our #BarillaBITE, we brought The Q Side to life: a journey into the unseen side of quality, where science, care, and responsibility come together every day. A space designed to experience what usually remains behind the scenes, where every detail matters and every choice helps protect what reaches people’s tables, from field to fork. Today, ensuring food safety means navigating a world that’s more complex and interconnected than ever. We turn this complexity into trust through prevention, our people, and science: this is what shapes our daily work and how we bring quality to life. #TheQSide #TheJoyOfFood 2026-03-31T09:11:29Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/kI6m95Efpns 78 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pVEoGMQridE/mqdefault.jpg Inside Barilla’s Supplier Quality System 🔬 How do we protect quality and food safety before production even begins? Everything starts with raw materials and packaging. That’s why we carefully select, assess, and monitor every single element. Our Global Supplier Quality Management team ensures that only safe, top‑quality materials enter our plants, overseeing 900 supplier sites worldwide. Through tailored risk assessments, we analyze every detail, monitor suppliers, co-design specifications, and rigorously test materials. And when something goes wrong, we act immediately. Like an immune system, the work of our #BarillaPeople is often invisible, but absolutely essential to protect consumers and earn their trust. 🎥 Discover more through the words of Luigi Lalli, Global Suppliers Quality Associate Director Ingredients. #TheJoyOfFood 2026-05-08T12:50:20Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/pVEoGMQridE 64 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4vKjYK8SntM/mqdefault.jpg What Keeps Your Food Safe? Inside Barilla’s Quality System 🥽 Ever wondered what happens inside our plants to keep food safe from the very first second of production? At the Q Side Event - the immersive showcase on quality and food safety we held at #BarillaBITE in March - visitors entered a dedicated area with four interactive stations, including a virtual reality tour of the Rubbiano Sauces plant. There they saw how we apply Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), X‑ray detection, thermal treatments and HACCP controls to prevent chemical, physical and biological risks. Like a fortress, each layer adds precise protection, becoming increasingly accurate the closer we get to the product. Our commitment extends beyond the plant with Good Distribution Practices and over 300,000 annual consumer feedback pieces, all within certified international standards. 🎥 Discover more from Diego Ricchetti, Q&FS Senior Manager Region Italy. #TheJoyOfFood 2026-05-29T08:48:57Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/4vKjYK8SntM 61 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3gs-TTwxD0I/mqdefault.jpg Inside Barilla Quality: From Tradition to Data 🔬 How has Quality Control evolved over time? What once relied only on manual skills and personal experience is now driven by science and data. From hands‑on experience, like pressing a Rigatone between fingers, to advanced tools such as dynamometers, quality control has moved from time‑consuming analyses to instant results, making even sensory elements like roughness measurable and objective. This evolution spans across all products: today, advanced systems can even verify the position of every star on our Pan di Stelle biscuits, ensuring consistency at every scale. Quality is now a structured, science‑based discipline, continuously evolving to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex world. 🎥 Discover more through the words of Simona Granata, Quality Beyond Compliance, Thermal Process Authority - Associate Director. #TheJoyOfFood 2026-04-21T08:52:26Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/3gs-TTwxD0I 69 https://www.barillagroup.com/en/stories/stories-list/innovating-products/ 2026-06-24T09:34:15+00:00 daily 0.6400 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/T4rJZwLL5EQ/mqdefault.jpg Barilla Protein+: the pasta taste you love + a push of protein 🍝 Well-being, taste, and a push of protein: these are the key characteristics of Barilla #Protein+ according to the #BarillaPeople who worked behind our new product!

To its people who, once again, resist. #italiacheresiste -- A questo silenzio che protegge le nostre strade e alla vita che grida dai balconi. A chi è fermo, ma si muove e a chi dà tutto senza chiedere nulla. A chi è stremato, ma ci dà forza per sperare e alla bellezza che non smette mai di ricordarci chi siamo. Alla paura che risveglia il coraggio e al sorriso che dà senso a ogni fatica. A chi è stanco, ma non molla. A chi è lontano, ma sa starci vicino. A chi è spaesato, ma si sente ancora un paese. All’Italia che, ancora una volta, resiste.

Thanks to hard work and dedication, the family was able to transform the small bakery, opened in 1877, into a modern factory equipped with state-of-the-art machinery where they produced both bread and pasta. In 1952, Pietro decided to leave behind bread production in order to concentrate all of their efforts on pasta production. 2021-08-18T07:56:40Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/taIDTv0d4Vg 202 https://www.barillagroup.com/en/stories/stories-list/travelling-sustainability-railroad-with-barilla/ 2026-06-22T13:12:34+00:00 daily 0.4096 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tkuh0nCb_TE/mqdefault.jpg Barilla, sustainable food export by train From road to rail, for a more sustainable transport: since March 2020, the 70% of Barilla's products destined for Germany - about 100,000 tons each year including pasta, sauces and pesto - have been travelling by rail, thanks to the innovative railway line connecting the Parma freight terminal with ULM in Baden-Württemberg. 2020-10-22T12:00:28Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tkuh0nCb_TE 102 https://www.barillagroup.com/en/stories/stories-list/carebonara-a-pasta-dish-with-a-special-power/ 2022-04-04T09:00:55+00:00 daily 0.4096 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gyuGzWUX1GQ/mqdefault.jpg Barilla Carebonara | The Origins of Carbonara | A Short Film Carbonara is the most famous pasta recipe in the world. But how did it all start? Rome, 1944. An Italian cook meets a young American soldier with a mission: to set up a special meal for the Allied forces stationed in the city. Discover the legend behind the origins of carbonara, a dish prepared for the first time to take care of someone that’s still continuing today to bring everyone together. On April 6th for #CarbonaraDay prepare a carbonara for whoever you care. Inspired by this story of caring, Barilla, who has always believed in the power of pasta to unite everyone, turned #Carbonara into #CareBonara, the ideal recipe to take care of people.  And to make a real gesture of care, Barilla will be next to Food For Soul - the nonprofit founded by chef Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore - supporting their mission and sustainability initiatives around the world, with a donation of 1 million pasta dishes throughout 2021, nourishing socially vulnerable individuals through the organization’s operational partners in Refettorio projects in Europe, the Americas and Asia. 2021-04-01T05:24:58Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/gyuGzWUX1GQ 592 https://www.barillagroup.com/en/stories/stories-list/not-just-barilla-the-companys-historical-archive/ 2026-04-27T12:11:18+00:00 daily 0.4096 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBimbGk1O_Y/mqdefault.jpg Discover the Barilla Historical Archive 2018-11-07T11:43:34Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBimbGk1O_Y 204 https://www.barillagroup.com/en/press-room/press-releases/carbonaraday-2018/ 2021-10-26T08:48:10+00:00 daily 0.2621 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/okeojVl4zxM/mqdefault.jpg #CarbonaraDay One traditional recipe, a wide range of interpretations.

Meanwhile, cut the bacon into strips and put it in a large pan. Gently brown the bacon without adding oil. In the meantime, beat the egg yolks with the Pecorino cheese and two spoons of boiling water. Add freshly ground black pepper. When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and put it into the pan with the bacon: remove the pan from the heat and then add the beaten egg yolks. Finally, add a tablespoon of cooking water for a creamy result. Stir for a minute and serve the spaghetti with carbonara sauce: sprinkle with the Pecorino cheese and black pepper. Serve hot. Chef’s tip: The perfect Carbonara is creamy, without lumps from too-coagulated eggs or too raw or too liquid egg yolks. To better control the coagulation and temperature, pour the yolk mixture after removing the pan from the fire. 2018-04-05T16:44:53Z https://www.youtube.com/embed/buE0dLnkCeM 30 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ip_tBAW9IkM/mqdefault.jpg #CarbonaraDay - Spinach Carbonara Ingredients for 2 servings: - 160 g Penne Blue Box - 70 g Spinach - 40 g Red beans - 3 Egg yolks - 60 g Pecorino romano cheese - 20 ml Extravirgin olive oil - Salt and black Pepper to taste Preparation: Mix egg yolks, salt and 1/3 of the pecorino cheese.
