In the US, when it comes to Italian food, there's a lot of "you must prepare it this particular way or else Nonna will burst out of her grave and flog you with a pappardelle whip" discourse.
With that in mind, it's kind of fascinating comparing the en-US and en-GB Barilla websites. The GB site emphasizes sustainability ("100% Plastic Free", a page on sustainable basil farming, this Passive Cooking thing), while the US site emphasizes the quality and authenticity of the product ("Barilla al Bronzo", "Vero Gusto", "Chef's Corner"). No corporate responsibility promotions at all.
