A family business

Piuma d’Oro is a company handed down from father to sons. The family also inspired the business model. Every employee not only contributes personally to ensuring the quality of our product, but lives a strong integration in company life, through simple but important moments of sharing.

The collective breakfast in the morning, the traditional Christmas greetings become opportunities in which different backgrounds and origins people can integrate each others pefectly, respecting individual needs and cultures.




In my life I’ve always had a strong passion for quality. It’s not enough to know the technique, it’s necessary to apply it with passion, always trying to improve ourselves. That’s what i’ve always done, that’s what Piuma d’Oro keeps doing

Success ingredients

There are stories that arise by chance, that rise with the ingredients of passion, commitment and the pursuit of quality. Like the story of Fausto Pizzoccheri, a young descendant of bakers family. In 1961, at the age of 21, with a bit of recklessness and a lot of will, he started his first business in his family shop, producing and selling “tortellini and gnocchi”.

From white art to the most advanced technologies

White art is his first love and he soon learned about the mysterious alchemy that governs the relationship between flour, fire and processing times. Details that still make the difference.

From a small laboratory to the world

In 1964 Fausto took over a small food company called Piuma d’Oro. The name seems perfect to define the idea of quality that Fausto has always had in his mind. After exploring all the secrets of pasta, the company progressively specializes in making carnival sweets. Success is immediate; the secret is simple: to preserve the traditional recipes, keeping the taste and flavor unaltered, using technology to constantly develop the fragrance and food quality.
