Once upon a time, there was a small artisanal business where yeast was poured into sachets by hand. That’s how it all began.

Our Story

Arcangelo and Paolo Fantazzini (hence Ar.pa) acquire a small company near Bologna: this is where the dream begins, hand-filling yeast into paper sachets.

The company grows and expands its product offering. Ar.pa acquires the “Viaggi” brand, extending its distribution network throughout Italy.
