Our Story

Aniko Pasta Artigianale was born out of the local food movement, with a mission to produce and distribute artisanal pasta made with ingredients from Northern Ontario. Our aim is to support farmers and growers in the region, doing our part to strengthen the local food system, while keeping the pasta making tradition of our Italian ancestors alive.

Our Products

100% Canadian durum wheat semolina.
Local ingredients. Made with love.

Aniko Pasta Artigianale produces a variety of pastas: bronze cut, with and without egg, gnocchi, pasta filled with meat, seafood and vegetables.

We use Canadian non-GMO durum semolina flour, a high protein, pale yellow wheat that has been used since the Roman Empire to make pasta. As well, products are sourced as locally as possible, ensuring freshness and a high nutrient content.

Mezze Maniche

Mezze Maniche, or ‘half sleeves’, is a tubular ridged pasta that is half the size of a rigatoni that goes well with dense sauces. Made without eggs.

Penne

Penne is a short cylinder-shaped pasta with ends that are cut at an angle, whose shape was inspired by a quill. Penne translates to ‘pen’ in English. Perfect for little hands, too.
