Catelli is a Montreal dry pasta brand made by Catelli Montreal Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Barilla Group, the private Italian family business that bought Catelli, Lancia and Splendor from Ebro Foods in 2021. Pasta is made at Catelli's historic Montreal plant and Canadian staff run the business from Ontario and Quebec, though only the Grains line still makes an explicit Canadian wheat claim on site. It is stocked at Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro, Save-On-Foods, Co-op, Giant Tiger and Walmart banners.

Catelli's own 2025 supply chain act filing states that Barilla Canada Inc. and Catelli Montreal Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Barilla Group, a private, family-owned business founded in Parma, Italy in 1877, confirming Barilla's 2021 purchase of Catelli, Lancia and Splendor from Ebro Foods closed and remains current. Corporations Canada's federal registry has moved to a new search system that returned no queryable results this session, so this rests on the vendor's statutory disclosure rather than an independent registry check.

Catelli Montreal Inc. runs the Montreal, Quebec plant that has made Catelli pasta since 1867, upgraded in 1975 with what the company calls North America's largest pasta line at the time. The same statutory filing notes sister company Barilla Canada Inc. imports some products from Italy and the United States for the Canadian market, so a small non-Canadian share is assumed for any Catelli SKUs sold through that channel, though none were specifically identified.

Only the Grains line's own page still makes an explicit wheat-origin claim; the Classic, Smart and Protein+ product pages describe ingredients without naming the wheat's origin, so the brand's older blanket "100% Canadian wheat" language no longer appears across the full range. Durum for a Montreal plant is typically drawn from Western Canada, the world's largest durum exporter, but that sourcing is not confirmed line by line, so this mix is an estimate weighted toward Canada.
