Favuzzi Gigli Bronze Die Pasta, 500g

Description:

We use premium bronze casts to impart to our pasta a lovely porous texture, to which sauces stick more easily. To achieve a classic al dente consistency, our artisanal pasta undergoes a slow drying process at 30°C for 12 to 20 hours, depending on thickness. This ensures the centre of the pasta stays firmer and doesn’t cook as much once plunged into boiling water. Thanks to this consistency, your pasta dishes will be a success, every time.

Origin: Montoggio, Liguria, Italy.

History & Anecdotes: Gigli means “lilies” in Italian—a reference to the pasta’s flower-like shape, which is said to be inspired by the lily, the symbol of Florence. Sometimes called “campanelle,” or “little bells,” this shape likely originated in Tuscany and was traditionally served during festive occasions. Its elegant form and sauce-holding curves make it a favourite for showcasing rich regional recipes.
