Since 1926, the Martelli family has made pasta in the Tuscan village of Lari using bronze dies, premium durum wheat semolina and slow drying methods that create the rough, porous texture Martelli is known for.

Australia was Martelli's first export market. For more than 40 years, Enoteca Sileno helped make the yellow Martelli packet a familiar sight in Australian kitchens, restaurants and specialty food stores.

In 2025, Really Good People became Martelli's Australian and New Zealand distributor, continuing that long relationship with the same focus on quality, provenance and proper Italian food.
