“We felt it was important to invest in developing a pasta line for the ever-increasing number of people who are adopting gluten-free lifestyles, ensuring that it delivers the taste and texture pasta lovers expect from Barilla,” CEO Claudio Colzani said. 

The line will rollout to “select” stores next month, with nationwide distribution set to begin in early 2014.
