Molino Quaglia is a family business that since 1914 has milled only the finest grain. At the age of 13, Angelo Quaglia, the founder of today's mill, left his family who had been millers since 1856, to start a small stone-grinding mill built on rafts moved by the waters of the river Adige. Then, in 1937, he moved from the river to dry land, at Vighizzolo d d'Este (near Padua), where the mill grew to industrial sizes (1947) under the guidance of his son Annito Quaglia.
Records and awards for the high production levels were not long in coming, and in 1986, it became the first Italian mill to build a plant to roast cereals. In 1996, it was the first in Italy to obtain ISO 9002 quality certification, and only two years later, it was recognized as the most advanced in the 4,000q/24h production band. It was one of the first mills in Italy to obtain the coveted BRC quality certification. Since 1989, the company has been run by the three siblings Lucio, Chiara and Andrea Quaglia.
