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.
Orzo is an incredibly versatile type of pasta. Its size and shape make it perfect for soups, salads or just a light pasta dish. Plus, orzo is a great substitute for rice or other grains.
Distinctives attributes
The difference is obvious when our product is compared to mass produced pasta, extruded in Teflon casts: they are shiny and smooth, which means the sauce can't coat the pasta and ends up at the bottom of the plate instead.
Our pasta is produced in one of Italy's purest, most pollutant-free areas: the mountains of the Antola natural reserve. It is made with spring water that also comes from the reserve and glyphosate-free Italian durum wheat semolina of the highest quality.
Orzo pasta has been around for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the Mediterranean, where orzo was a staple food in Ancient Greece and Rome. The word orzo is derived from the Italian word 'orzare', which means 'to barley'. This is because orzo looks like oversized grains of barley or rice.
