Good Food in Greenwich

Casa Grande Artisan Pasta, one of the inaugural signatories of the Good Food in Greenwich charter, and an amazing couple devoted to excellent quality food are delighted to announce that they have achieved Organic status,  certified by the Soil Association. Casa Grande is the manufacturer of the UK’s only  artisan organic pasta and is based in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

They make artisan pasta through a slow drying process, so it tastes and cooks like fresh pasta and has the shelf life of dried, lasting at least 6 months. They source all their ingredients locally, and use only fresh organic eggs and vegetables with no preservatives (and no GM).  Their unique, wholesome flavours currently include Egg, Wholemeal, Vegan, Spinach and Beetroot.

In 2013 the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) in a partnership bid led by Greenwich Cooperative Development Agency, was selected as a founding member of the UK-wide Sustainable Food Cities Network.

This was in recognition of the huge amount of work being done in the RBG to make healthy and sustainable food one of its defining characteristics. 

We want Greenwich to be known as a great place for good food by all who live, study, work or visit here. By celebrating our rich diversity through vibrant food markets, festivals, catering and businesses, we will grow, produce, prepare and share good food that is healthy, sustainable, affordable and accessible to all.
