Imported from Tuscany Italy organic whole durum wheat pastas are redefining the pasta category in the United States and intend to bring pasta back to its more flavorful and authentic Old World traditions.
Durum wheat is grown in Italy on small family-owned farms that have been using traditional agricultural methods for centuries. All ingredients are certified organic and are grown and processed without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
The pasta is made in a state-of-the-art pasta factory near Pisa Italy that uses artisanal production methods of the past. Our pastaio the person who directs the pasta process from kneading to drying is a third generation Italian pasta maker.
Antique bronze dies which create the shape of the pasta are used in the factory to press pasta shapes with a rough texture that better absorbs sauce. Most present-day pasta factories use Teflon® dies which is more expedient but compromises quality making a smoother surface that sauce will actually slide off of.
The drying process is also a key to the delicious flavor of our pasta. Slow drying at low temperatures helps to preserve the nutty flavor of the durum wheat. This method of slow drying pasta is an art as well as a science since drying times vary depending on the shape of the pasta and outdoor relative humidity levels and temperature. This subtle difference of a slow-dried pasta can be tasted best before you add condiment. You will find that our pasta tastes delicious even before you add sauce!
