Our Pasta: We select and blend the highest quality durum wheat from a beautiful golden color, wonderful aroma and high protein content to maintain a superior pasta shape, structure and flavor. Our wheat is expertly milled into coarse ground semolina flour, and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. Extrusion through bronze dies gives our pasta that rough feel, creating a naturally porous surface that absorbs and captures every type of sauce. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta's color, texture and aroma. Artisans of al dente. The perfect al dente bite is achieved when pasta cooks to a tender exterior balanced by a firm bite with a fleck of white at its core - the pasta's soul.
