With Valentine’s Day approaching, Barilla is gearing up to make it special for one lucky couple by offering a dream trip to Italy, one of the world’s most romantic destinations. This giveaway marks the debut of Barilla’s new heart-shaped pasta and includes two round-trip flights, hotel stays in Parma and Florence, up to three tours, and extraordinary dining experiences centered around pasta. Renowned for its culinary excellence, Parma is located in the Emilia-Romagna region, while Florence offers a wealth of exceptional restaurants, so Barilla’s promise of delicious food is certainly well-founded.
While just one couple will win the trip to Italy, Barilla has additional surprises with several “Barilla Love Pasta Kits.” Each kit features a 12-ounce box of Barilla’s heart-shaped pasta—a unique version akin to their popular Mezzi Rigatoni—plus Valentine’s cards and other items to help you craft a cozy, romantic meal for two at home.
“Each pasta shape tells a story. By introducing this charming design to our iconic Blue Box line, we offer pasta lovers a special way to celebrate their affection for each other and their passion for pasta,” stated Melissa Tendick, Barilla Americas’ vice president of marketing, in a press release. “Cooking is a wonderful expression of care, and we eagerly anticipate seeing our fans create authentic, mouth-watering Italian dishes at home this Valentine’s Day.”
To join the giveaway, visit the official Barilla Love website, where you’ll need to provide your contact information and a 250-word essay on “how Barilla brings you closer to a loved one.” You must be a U.S. resident and at least 18 years old to enter. Be sure to submit your entry by 11:59 p.m. ET on February 1. Good luck!
