- SLOW DRYING We still use the same method today to best preserve the natural flavor and aroma of wheat and the natural color of our semolina for a superior quality pasta.
- COARSE-GRAIN SEMOLINA We use only ﾓcoarseﾔ-grain semolina flour in order to preserve the integrity of the gluten and obtain a pasta which is always ﾓal denteﾔ.
- COLD MAJELLA MOUNTAIN WATER We make our dough solely with cold water from the Majella mountains, at a temperature of less than 59ﾰ F ensuring perfect firmness when cooked.
- BRONZE-DRAWN TEXTURE We craft our pasta with bronze draw plates to guarantee the ideal porosity to best capture the sauce.
