Les Belles d'Antan

Patrick Cadix, pastamaker and founder of the pasta shop Les Belles d'Antan, is a passionate artisan in the production of high-quality handmade pasta.

As the heir to a family of foie gras producers, he ventured into this field in 2007 in Samazan, inspired by his Italian origins and his father's desire to start a new business in retirement.

Les Belles d'Antan offers a diverse range of 24 pasta varieties, each named after an ancient feminine first name. Cadix emphasizes strict artisanal methods, excluding any additives, salt, coloring, or GMOs. The production is entirely French, using hard wheat and spring water to preserve the authentic taste.

With a career marked by a love for good things and gastronomic traditions, Patrick Cadix continues to showcase Les Belles d'Antan through his artisanal expertise and commitment to the quality and authenticity of products.

As a member of the Collège Culinaire de France and the winner of the Septuor 2022 at the Trophées de l'Innovation et de l'Économie du Lot-et-Garonne, these products are an absolute must-try.
