New York, NY – This June, the timeless art of handmade Orecchiette pasta arrives in New York as Nonna Nunzia—celebrated around the world as the “Queen of Bari Pasta”—joins the Summer Fancy Food Show with her U.S. partner, Global Gourmet Goods.
Born and raised in Bari, Italy, Nonna Nunzia has dedicated her life to preserving the centuries-old tradition of crafting authentic orecchiette by hand. Made with simple ingredients, patience, and love, her pasta reflects the heart of Puglia: family, community, and uncompromising quality. Her work has been featured on many food blogs and shows, including Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy and Jamie Oliver: Jamie Cooks Italy, introducing global audiences to the beauty of true Italian home cooking.
At the Fancy Food Show and a series of special New York events, Nonna Nunzia will offer live demonstrations of her traditional Bari orecchiette. Her appearances are interactive, heartfelt, and deeply rooted in family values—bringing people together around the table just as she and her family before her have for generations in Italy. With a social media community of more than 200,000 followers and over 5 million impressions, her story continues to inspire pasta lovers worldwide.
For the first time, Global Gourmet Goods is introducing Nonna Nunzia’s Organic Orecchiette to the U.S. market, launching five organic varieties: Original, Spinach, Black Squid Ink, Five-Color Pasta, and Puglia’s Ancient Burnt Semolina Wheat. Each variety honors tradition while showcasing the exceptional quality of authentic Italian ingredients.
This June, New York will experience more than pasta—it will experience heritage, craftsmanship, and the warmth of an Italian family kitchen.
We are offering a unique opportunity for writers, influencers, and food bloggers to sit down and interact with Nunzia herself. They can learn the ancient art of handcrafting orecchiette pasta and try it for themselves, documenting the entire experience. If interested, please see the contact:
