Producer spotlight

Jovial Foods

A commitment to authenticity, quality ingredients and memorable meals makes Jovial stand out among artisanal pasta makers. Founded in 2010, its founders work with small-scale farmers to encourage the survival of heirloom grains and ingredients; crafts its artisanal pasta with traditional bronze dies in Italy; honors individuals with food intolerance by sourcing allergen-free ingredients; and packages its treasures in the most recyclable and compostable packaging available.

Jovial makes whole grain pasta from organic eikorn, an ancient grain packed with protein, B vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber but free of the gritty or grainy texture that mars some whole grain pastas. Our buyers recommend Jovial’s einkorn and brown rice pasta options, both of which they say cook well and stand up to whatever dish is being prepared (find even more cooking tips on Jovial’s website). Find Jovial’s delights in our grocery aisles.
