The history of BALLARINI began in 1889, but not with pots and pans. It started with a birdcage. That's right! A birdcage was the first product Paolo Ballarini made in Rivarolo Mantovano. But if there's one thing we Italians love even more dearly than our feathered friends, it's the art of gastronomy. We soon began producing cookware from sheet metal – a first step on our way to bringing the incomparable grandezza of the Cucina Italiana into your home.
For over 130 years, our heart beats full of Passione for Italian cuisine. Over five generations, a modest workshop has evolved into a global company full of traditions. A company that is like a family. We are committed to delicious food in our hearts because we do everything we can to make your cooking easier and your life more enjoyable. As we promised 130 years ago, your "gioia di vivere" is our inspiration.
The town gate of Rivarolo is part of our logo for a reason – it symbolises our origins. With about 2,500 inhabitants, the village is still our home. Our pans still leave the city through this gate and spread the taste of Italy all over the world. Over 74% of our cookware is exported, making us global ambassadors of Cucina Italiana. With every BALLARINI product, a piece of Italy enters your home. Benvenuto Italia. Benvenuto delicious food!
BALLARINI has been part of the ZWILLING Group since 2016. It's a splendid partnership between two brands that embody passion, pleasure, and quality. They share common goals: To perfect your cooking experience and bring a smile to your face and to go on a journey full of flavours and passions with you – every day.
