@oasis.app: Italy imports roughly 2.2 million tonnes of durum wheat every year to keep up with pasta demand. Its self-sufficiency has fallen to roughly 56%, with the rest coming from places like Canada and Turkey. In Italy, pasta packs must state where the wheat was grown and milled. The same product sold in the US carries no disclosure, because no US requirement exists. Brands lean on flag colors and Italian branding to fill the gap. What the labels actually mean: - "100% Italian wheat" / "100% grano italiano" is the only phrase that guarantees the wheat grew in Italy - "Made in Italy" only confirms the pasta was shaped and dried there - "Packed in Italy" means only the packaging happened there Two examples: - Seggiano Toscani Organic Pasta: grown, milled, and made in Tuscany, single ingredient traceable to the farm. 95/100 on Oasis - De Cecco Angel Hair no. 9: says "Made in Italy" but sources durum wheat from Italy, California, and Arizona. 88/100 on Oasis See the true origin of your pasta on the Oasis app
