Lead with heart and the hand will follow.
Everything we create is moved from this simple philosophy.
No ego, no pomp, just the pure, palpable pleasure of food.

A transformative quest

Forget everything you know about pasta: Atavi was born from this premise. An ambition to raise the game, to change the narrative, to embark on an exploration of flavour that immerses you head-first into the pure, uninterrupted pleasure of food. Combining technology with gastronomic ingenuity, we have unleashed the sensory potential of a timeless yet exquisite food.

WHEAT + WATER + TIME

A simple equation with a twist of creativity.
That’s the soul of Atavi.

The first step of our Gastronomic Journey

A unique blend of of innovation and creativity fires in the visionary work of Michelin-star chef Albert Adria. Through his world-class gastronomic knowledge and inimitable flair he has reimagined the unspoken potential of a traditional recipe, creating a food unlike anything that has ever existed before.

“Cooking is creative freedom. There was something truly magical about revisiting pasta - a world known to everyone - and redrawing the boundaries so that its ancestral techniques can now coexist with astounding new concepts”.

It took a year of tireless experimenting to take the three year-old fermentation techniques, allowing the grain to express itself in different ways and give each pasta its individual personality, depth and complexity.
