Created by Northern Italian born Fabrizio Cercatore, Passione Brands combines deeply rooted Italian culinary traditions with California logic and fresh local organic ingredients. True to authentic Italian culture, Passione invites a modern audience to celebrate food as more than nourishment but as life itself. Art is the creative expression of life and Passione is where flour becomes art.
The products we create are meticulous and innovative. Based in Berkeley, California, Passione Brands features a range of high quality Pizza Dough, Flour, Pasta and Gelato for individual home chefs, retailers and restaurants.
Our products can be tasted at our Emporios in Berkeley and in the San Francisco Bay on Adriana Yacht, can be purchased at various stores, and online on Amazon.
Before Passione Pizza was born here in America, our family owned and ran a pizzeria in La Spezia, Cinque Terre since 1986. We have been continually studying and developing our products to perfect the oldest and most delicious meal in history . . . the pizza! We know so much about pizza because it’s our Passione.
In 2012 Passione Pizza was established out of this love for the perfect pizza crust. From this desire, we created our classic pizza dough recipe with a special blend of flour inspired by an ancient Italian recipe, using only the top-notch organic American grains. We let our dough rise for several days in a controlled environment with fixed temperature. You can really taste the difference this makes in every bite.
We offer a wide range of pizza and pasta dough flours, pizza dough balls and ready to go pre-baked pizzas. Passione prides itself on being an organic pizza company that offers gluten-free and sprouted grain dough balls. Our Organic Gluten-Free crust is composed of California’s home-grown sweet rice, white rice, and brown rice flours.
