A wheat grain, almost intact, transformed into pasta — as if Mancini wanted to offer you the seed itself, before it became anything else.

There's something profound about such a small food.

A chicco. A grain. Barely 9 millimeters. Yet, in this tiny grain of pasta lies the whole story of an Italian family that, for generations, has been sowing, harvesting, and transforming its wheat without ever entrusting it to anyone else.

Most pasta is born in a factory, far from the land that nourished it. These are born in a field — the same fields, year after year, that surround the Mancini family home in the Marche region. The wheat is hand-sown, patiently harvested, then transformed just steps from where it grew. Nothing is bought. Everything is cultivated.

Perhaps that's why Chicchi di Grano have such a unique shape — almost a replica of the original grain, like a silent homage to what brought them into being. A small, humble pasta, designed for comforting soups and childhood pastinas, the kind a grandmother would have served on a winter evening, without much ceremony, but with all her heart.

Bronze-extruded, slowly dried at low temperatures, this pasta retains the intact richness of the wheat from which it is made. Only two ingredients — durum wheat semolina and water — because sometimes, simplicity is the most beautiful form of respect for what the earth gives us.

It's just a tiny grain of pasta. But in every bite, it's a lifetime's work that ends up on your plate — thousands of miles from home, but suddenly, a little closer.

WHY WE USE THIS SHIPPING SYSTEM ONCE A WEEK

The reason is simple: that's why we use this shipping system once a week, where products are shipped on Sundays.

If we were to keep all products in large quantities, we would need a very, very, very large warehouse, like a large distribution center. The cost of that would significantly increase our prices.

Instead, we keep limited stock and receive weekly deliveries.

However, not all of our 100+ suppliers deliver at the same time, and not all of them have an accurate inventory system — and that's another story lol.

For this reason, in order to build your package, we have to wait for products from all suppliers. If we already have all the items, your package may be sent faster. It also depends on the volume of orders.

We hope you understand 🙏

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

All orders are dispatched once a week, on Sundays. All services, including express service, follow this same shipping schedule.

You place an order here (Week 1) – for example: whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

👉 This is considered our order week (Week 1).

👉 Your order will be prepared from the following Monday until Saturday, then dispatched on the following Sunday (the next Sunday, not the one in the week you ordered).

👉 If you order on Sunday or later in the new week, your package will then be dispatched the Sunday after that, approximately 14 days later.

Product FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

Orders are processed weekly.

If you place your order before Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (not the immediate Sunday).

If you order after Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (i.e., the second Sunday after your order).

WHERE ARE THESE PRODUCTS LOCATED?

All our products are already in Canada, in our warehouse, ready to be shipped. You will not have any customs fees or hidden charges upon delivery.

WHY DO YOU SHIP ONCE A WEEK?

Because we work with several importers and suppliers.

Some products are in limited quantity in our warehouse and we must wait for the missing items to be received.

Since our suppliers do not all deliver on the same day, we consolidate orders and ship once a week to ensure your order is complete.

WHY IS AN ITEM MISSING FROM MY ORDER?

Some of our suppliers do not have a real-time inventory system and do not always notify us when a product is out of stock.

In addition, some received items may have an expiration date that is too soon. We check each product upon receipt and remove those that do not meet our standards.

If an item is missing, it is because we have chosen not to include it in order to guarantee you the best possible quality.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETURN POLICY?

As these are food products, we cannot accept returns for safety and hygiene reasons.

Once a product has been shipped, we cannot guarantee the storage or handling conditions.

Why has the price of this product increased since my last order?

Our products are purchased in euros, so the exchange rate directly influences our prices.

In addition, transportation and import costs can vary, which can also impact the final price.
