Abstract

At Caldes de Montbui (Vallès Occidental region), lies the Pastes Sanmartí factory, noodle manufacturers since 1700. Isidre Sanmartí invented a wooden device with small holes at the base. The base was filled with a mixture of flour and water and when the mixture flowed through the holes, it took the form of little threads, which are now known as noodles. He noted that this pasta, once dry, could be eaten after boiling in water. These are the origins of this prestigious family craft business that, passing from father to son, has reached its eighth generation with a reputation for quality.
