Since 1926, the Martelli family has been crafting pasta in the Tuscan village of Lari, Italy, using time-honored methods that prioritize quality over quantity. Their dedication to traditional techniques—bronze die extrusion, slow drying, and the use of premium semolina—has earned them a revered place among pasta artisans.

Australia holds a special place in Martelli's history as its first export market. This milestone was made possible through a partnership with Enoteca Sileno, Australia's oldest importer and distributor of authentic Italian food and wine. Founded in 1953 by Luigi "Gino" Di Santo, Enoteca Sileno introduced Australians to a range of Italian culinary delights, including Martelli pasta. For over 40 years, Enoteca Sileno championed Martelli, bringing its distinctive yellow-packaged pasta to Australian homes and restaurants.

As Enoteca Sileno concludes its remarkable journey, the torch is being passed to a new generation: Really Good People. This contemporary distributor is committed to upholding the same values of quality and authenticity that have defined Martelli's presence in Australia. With a fresh perspective and unwavering respect for tradition, Really Good People aims to continue the legacy, ensuring that Martelli pasta remains a staple for Australian connoisseurs.

This transition marks not just a change in distribution but a celebration of enduring partnerships and the timeless appeal of artisan craftsmanship.
