 Our
pasta has age-old origins. It is the same pasta that was made
in the home to celebrate Sunday in a manner “worthy of the
occasion”, it is the same pasta that was made with flour
produced through the farmer’s own effort. Each region of
Italy has its own pasta speciality: orecchiette, fusilli,
cavatelli, strozzapreti, trofie .
The
consistency of our dough is similar to homemade dough so much
so that it is often referred to as "Homemade Pasta".
This pasta is not pressed or drawn, but simply shaped. All the
machines do is simulate the housewife’s hands that shape the
pasta.
The
pasta is produced by lightly kneading the dough, which is
shaped, then it is pasteurised and lastly dried at a low
temperature: 32°-38 ° for approximately 24 - 36 hours
depending on the humidity and other atmospheric factors.
The
main characteristics of this pasta are its texture and its
homemade taste, and it’s always ‘al dente’. It is
perfect served with tomato sauce, legumes and vegetables. Try
serving orecchiette with pumpkin flowers - this is one of the
tastiest, most flavoursome peasant dishes available.
You
can smell the flour in our pasta: you often find flour on the
bottom of the package. As soon as you drop it into the boiling
water you’ll notice its pleasant smell and the unmistakable
colour that the water assumes just like it does for homemade
pasta.
The
pasta is made from Kamut flour, from wholemeal spelt flour,
and durum wheat flour .
The
traditional pasta made from Kamut flour has an exceptional
taste, roughness and texture. It almost seems as if our
machines were especially built to process this ancient cereal
grain of exceptional qualities.
