Maestri Pastai Ricciarelle Dry Pasta

Description

In Italy there is a strong sense of culture connected to producing and consuming pasta, particularly in the Campania Region and in areas like Gragnano and inland Salerno. Over the centuries the art of 'making' pasta has become a practice that has, in it's time become appreciated more and more at a national and indeed, an international level. Today Maestri Pastai still uses the best quality durum wheat and exclusively uses bronze draw plates, just as it did in the past, in order to ensure that the pasta will have its famous rough and porous surface (which is ideal for sauces). This also allows Maestri Pastai to maintain its philosophy of: Ê Taste; close attention is paid to choosing the process of drying out the semolina grain, an indispensable process for both conserving the original, natural qualities of the grain and more importantly for satisfying the requirements of the palate. Quality; Maestri Pastai is distinguishable because of the high quality of primary materials used and the traditions and workmanship of the methods of production. With every piece of pasta Maestri Pastai guarantees excellent results, including good elasticity of the pasta and the way in which it keeps its shape once cooked.
