We make organic shells using only semolina obtained from Italian wheat. In agreement with local companies, we carry out a supply chain project. By following the production and storage of wheat from the beginning, the milling of the semolina and finally the production of pasta in our pasta factory, we are committed to ensuring the highest quality to obtain a sustainable and pleasant-tasting product.
Ingredients
Organic durum wheat semolina 100% of Italian origin and water. (contains gluten)
Italian Wheat
We produce our organic pasta with wheat grown in Molise and Puglia respecting the organic regime. The result is a semolina with excellent organoleptic properties.
Bronze wire drawing
With the bronze drawing, the organic shells are rough and porous. The roughness and porosity allow the pasta to absorb and retain the sauce better after cooking. Diameter 4.1 mm thickness 2.3 mm.
Low temperature drying
Drying and stabilizing pasta is certainly an important step for the final quality of the product. As with all our pastas, the drying of organic shells occurs at low temperatures with reasonably long times ranging from 36 to 48 hours, depending on the format. In this way we preserve the chemical and physical characteristics of the pasta as well as excellent digestibility. Furthermore, our low-temperature drying method allows us to keep the vitamins, enzymes, proteins, gluten and all the other substances present in the semolina unaltered. In fact, at temperatures above 60°C, the pasta proteins and enzymes are altered and compounds can form that make the pasta darker in color. In particular, with high temperatures that are generally used to speed up the drying process, two essential amino acids such as lysine and methionine are also lost.
Directions for use
How much water to cook pasta?
