Barilla adds new Al Bronzo pasta shape with organic certification
This specific geometry was explicitly engineered to trap and hold onto hearty sauces from every conceivable angle, preventing liquids from pooling at the bottom of the plate.
USA – Barilla has announced that its Al Bronzo pasta line is now certified organic and is expanding with the introduction of Radiatori, a new sauce-gripping shape designed to capture more flavor in every bite.
To mark the launch, Barilla is partnering with Meredith Hayden, creator of Wishbone Kitchen, to inspire more intentional, restaurant-quality meals at home through cooking and entertaining ideas.
At the heart of Al Bronzo by Barilla is a simple idea: when pasta holds more sauce, every bite delivers fuller flavor.
Imported from Italy and made using a traditional bronze-cut method, Al Bronzo creates a uniquely textured surface that allows sauce to cling to every bite for a richer, more balanced, and more complete experience.
Now crafted with certified organic ingredients that adhere to specific agricultural standards, the Al Bronzo portfolio provides consumers with a high-quality foundation for everyday meals, combining ingredient integrity with craftsmanship that elevates both taste and texture.
Radiatori joins the Al Bronzo lineup of Bucatini, Spaghetti, Mezzi Rigatoni, Penne Rigate, Fusilloni, and Orecchiette, each cut designed not just to serve as a base, but to enhance the sauce and the overall dish actively.
Radiatori are arguably the most complex of the Al Bronzo pasta shapes, featuring a deep, five-winged design with ruffled edges, making them ideal for picking up any kind of sauce.
Commenting on the launch, Angie Cotter, Marketing Director for the US pasta category at Barilla, said: “For nearly 150 years, Barilla has been dedicated to pasta craftsmanship. With organic Al Bronzo, we’re combining certified organic ingredients with our signature bronze-cut method. The organic ingredients reflect our commitment to quality, while the bronze-cut process creates a pasta texture designed for better sauce grip, fuller flavor, and a more elevated pasta experience at home, without a lot of extra effort required.”
Partnership ambassador Meredith Hayden also weighed in, noting that texture is one of the most overlooked parts of a great pasta dish, and that when pasta truly grips the sauce, every bite becomes more balanced and flavorful.
Al Bronzo Radiatori pasta will be available at Kroger stores in June before expanding to select US retailers later this summer.
