About us

A key step in production is the matrices that shape our dough. The clip shows an employee inspecting the matrix before the fusilli are formed and cut to the right length by a rotating knife.

The pasta dough is dry and crumbly, which is important for maintaining the stability of the shapes. To create the forms, an extremely high pressure is applied—no problem for our pasta machine, which is over 30 meters long!

In the production of our pasta, we pay special attention to achieving uniform drying. This results in a beautiful, smooth surface without the dreaded "drying cracks."

These cracks are the nightmare of every pasta maker. They occur due to inaccurate settings on the dryer and lead to the pasta falling apart during cooking. Even small changes in the drying parameters can make the difference between perfect and unusable pasta.

The settings depend on many factors. Spaghetti requires different conditions than spirals, and the drying process for corn pasta differs from that of rice pasta. Even the weather on the production day can influence the perfect settings.

Our Quality Assurance department ensures that all products are always of the highest quality. Every step—from raw materials and their delivery to the dough and finally to shipping—is carefully monitored to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Gluten analyses are conducted both before and after production, so our customers can trust that Seitz glutenfrei products live up to their name and are consistently gluten free.

Anyone with inquiries about ingredients, nutritional values, shelf life, or quality has likely already been in contact with a knowledgeable team member from our QA team.

Our packaging material arrives on large, brightly printed film rolls. The film runs smoothly onto the machine and passes over a so-called "forming shoulder," which shapes the film into a bag. The back and the bottom end of the future bag are heated and sealed. Then, the pasta is filled into the semi-finished bag, and only at the very end is the top sealed and cut off. Now, the bags only need to go through quality control (including a metal detector) before they are placed into cartons for delivery to stores or directly to homes.
