Pasta e fagioli: the recipe that feels like coming home.

A simple dish, a thousand memories. Start with beans, finish with a story.

Read a taste of the story ↗

In the Irpinian kitchen, pasta and beans are cooked patiently. A little extra virgin olive oil, beans prepared until tender, pasta and herbs become something far greater than the sum of their parts.

06 / OUR BEGINNING

Some places stay
with you forever.

Pappatu was born in Monteforte Irpino, at the gateway to a land of mountains, orchards, villages and extraordinary food. Our roots belong to Irpinia. Our curiosity travels throughout Italy.

“What grows with difficulty grows with character.”

MONTEFORTE IRPINO IS OUR STARTING POINT. IRPINIA IS OUR STORY.
