La Sorgente
In 1966, in Seggiano di Pioltello, just outside Milan, a small artisan workshop dedicated to fresh pasta opened its doors: this marked the beginning of Pastificio La Sorgente. The name was inspired by the first machine used to make ravioli, which moved continuously, just like water flowing from a natural spring.
In the 1970s, the pasta factory developed into a fully established food company and moved to Pessano con Bornago, where artisan tradition and innovation came together. The combination of carefully selected ingredients and state-of-the-art machinery ensured consistent quality and production volumes that would have been unimaginable only a few years earlier.
The 1980s brought further expansion: the facility grew and La Sorgente began producing Italian ready meals and baked Carnival pastries, bringing its products to tables across much of Northern Italy, particularly Lombardy, Liguria, Piedmont and Veneto.
In the 1990s, faced with an evolving market and guided by an increasingly innovative and sustainable vision, the company broadened its operations while preserving the authenticity of Italian recipes and the artisan care that have always set it apart.
In 2012, the construction of a new production facility marked an important milestone: La Sorgente strengthened its presence throughout Italy and across Europe, meeting growing demand beyond the domestic market.
Since 2019, La Sorgente has pursued a programme of investment and innovation, introducing a new production area dedicated to grain and pulse salads with vegetables. All processes are powered by 100% renewable energy and the packaging is designed with sustainability in mind, reflecting a modern and responsible approach.
La Sorgente continues to be a reliable partner for large-scale retailers and private-label projects, while remaining true to its founding values. Today, just as in the past, we bring the authentic taste of artisan dishes rooted in Italian tradition to tables every day.
