How Pasta Is Manufactured in India: A Step-by-Step Guide

Have you ever stood in your kitchen, holding a packet of pasta, and wondered, “How exactly is this made?” If you’re curious about what goes on inside the factories of pasta manufacturers India relies on, you’re about to get an insider’s view. From selecting the finest durum wheat to the moment your favourite Bregano Penne Pasta reaches your pantry, every step is a careful blend of science, tradition, and quality control.

At Bregano (part of Dwarika Food Products since 1992), we believe transparency matters. So, let’s take you behind the scenes and show you exactly how quality pasta made from 100% durum wheat semolina comes to life in Indian manufacturing facilities.

Understanding Durum Wheat Semolina: The Foundation of Quality Pasta

Before diving into manufacturing, let’s understand why durum wheat semolina is the gold standard for authentic pasta.

What Makes Durum Wheat Special?

Durum wheat (Triticum durum) is the hardest variety of wheat grown commercially. When ground into coarse particles, it becomes durum wheat semolina — the foundation of quality pasta. Here’s why leading healthy pasta brands in India choose it:

  • Superior Protein: 12.15% vs 9.11% in maida

  • Perfect Gluten Structure

  • Natural Golden Colour

  • Better Texture (true al dente)

  • More Nutritious

At Bregano, every product — Bregano Penne, Fusilli, and Macaroni — contains 100% durum wheat semolina. Zero maida, zero shortcuts.

The 9-Step Manufacturing Process: From Wheat to Pasta

Let’s walk through how reputable pasta companies in India, including Bregano, transform raw durum wheat into the pasta you love.

Step 1: Raw Material Selection and Quality Inspection

Premium durum wheat is sourced from certified suppliers and tested for:

  • Protein (min 12%)

  • Moisture

  • Ash

  • Gluten strength

This is what sets apart the pasta manufacturers India trusts.

Step 2: Cleaning and Milling

The wheat undergoes:

  • Magnetic separation

  • Gravity tables

  • Aspirators

  • Scouring

Then the milling process creates coarse durum wheat semolina — vital for pasta texture.

Step 3: Mixing and Dough Formation

Water (28–32%) and semolina mix for 10–15 minutes, forming elastic dough due to gluten development.

Step 4: Extrusion & Shaping

Your favourite Bregano shapes are formed here:

Bronze dies = rough texture (holds sauce better)
Teflon dies = smooth texture

Step 5: Drying — The Most Critical Step

Drying determines:

  • Texture

  • Shelf life

  • Colour

  • Cooking quality

Moisture must fall below 12.5%.

Step 6: Cooling & Stabilisation

Slow cooling prevents cracks and maintains structure.

Step 7: Quality Control

Each batch is checked for:

  • Colour

  • Shape

  • Moisture

  • Cooking performance

  • Microbial safety

Only perfect batches move forward.

Step 8: Packaging & Sealing

Products are filled into air-tight pouches and labelled with manufacturing details.
