The pasta is made using high-quality bronze molds, giving it a porous texture ideal for the sauce to adhere perfectly. To achieve the classic "al dente" consistency, the artisan pasta undergoes a lengthy drying process at 30°C for 12 to 20 hours, depending on the thickness of the shape. This process maintains a firmer center, which cooks less than the outside when immersed in boiling water. This method ensures a perfect texture, essential for successful pasta dishes every time.

Uses

Riccioles go perfectly with tomato sauces, fresh tomatoes and vegetables.

Distinctive elements

The difference is obvious when comparing our pasta to industrial pasta, which is extracted with Teflon: the latter is shiny and smooth, which prevents the sauce from sticking and explains why it ends up at the bottom of the plate.

Our pasta is made in one of the purest and most contaminant-free places in Italy: the mountains of the Antola Nature Reserve. Our pasta is made with water that also comes from the reserve and the highest quality, glyphosate-free Italian durum wheat semolina.
