About me

My name is Durim Shahinas, a professional chef with a deep passion for culinary tradition and high-quality food. In 2013, I founded Pasta Livia, a company specialized in producing artisanal pasta, inspired by authentic Italian and Mediterranean recipes.

As both founder and administrator, I’m involved in every step of the process — from selecting the finest ingredients to overseeing production, quality control, branding, and business development. Over the years, I’ve built strong collaborations with top restaurants and chefs across Albania, especially within the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.

With a clear vision and dedication, I’m now focused on expanding Pasta Livia beyond national borders and introducing our handcrafted products to international markets.
