Strangozzi, “Rustic” semi-whole wheat organic pasta

Description

Organic Strangozzi – “Rustic” durum wheat semolina pasta.

Originating in the Spoleto and Foligno area, the strangozzi are one of the most typical Umbrian pasta shapes, also widespread in the neighboring Marche region. Their name, strangozzi or stringozzi, seems to derive from the square section typical of the leather shoe laces.

The Umbrian strangozzi could hardly be missing from our organic pasta range, made with a rustic semolina that exalts their flavor upon chewing.

Hand-dried (hence their characteristic shape), and with an exceptional porosity that allows for optimal sauce retention. Made from a mixture of organic durum wheats grown in our farmlands.

All the nutritional richness of semi-whole wheat flours in a fragrant and distinctive traditional Umbrian organic pasta.

Slow-rotation stone-ground semolina

Our organic semolina and flours are ground by natural stone, thanks to the buhrstone millstones imported from nearby France, in our slow-turning mill.

As the grains are not heated during milling, our process allows us to maintain all the nutritional characteristics of the resulting flours.

Bronze-die extruded and low temperature -dried pasta

Bronze die-drawing makes pasta particularly textured and porous, characteristics that allow sauces and condiments to be well retained, greatly improving the taste of the pasta dishes made.

We use the ancient process of low-temperature drying, maximum 40°C, which entails significant advantages: all the flavors, nutritional and “sensory” characteristics of the source grain are preserved, as well as the starches that make the pasta more digestible as well as more elastic and pleasant to the bite.

This way we spend more time on the production, but as with all good things produced with love … we take the time to make them in the best way possible.

Sourced from our in-house certified organic supply chain

Our entire organic supply chain is based in the green hills of the Umbrian Apennines, but above all it is an exclusively in-house supply chain.

It means we have full quality control of every stage of production, from sowing to harvesting, from milling to packaging.

This is a further guarantee of the traditional values already inherent to organic farming: no chemical treatments, no improvers or preservatives, respect for the earth, and the safety and wholesomeness of the food produced.
