- giuliomagnifico 4y agoYes I read but the other brands are using “something” to build this pasta that has an acceptable quality/right price. And I mean not only big brands like Barilla, you can find this shape of pasta everywhere in Italy. Sounds like an excuse to stop the production for some reason (maybe finance issue?).
- marmetio 4y agoCould be an excuse. Could be genuinely too expensive for them in the US. Stelline are not nearly as popular as in Italy, and their suppliers might prefer to focus on higher volume production. They're also aren't elaborate enough to command a higher price as a specialty item. The company buys this pasta instead of making it themselves, so they're at the mercy of what the suppliers charge.
