The wheat in our Organico pasta is grown as lovingly and intelligently as possible from even before the seed is planted! Our pasta is made only 100% with the hard Italian durum wheat that gives good pasta its name. The dough is mixed using a local mountain spring water and the shapes are formed using bronze plates which leaves a rougher surface ideal to help the sauce stick. Our pasta is dried very slowly to maintain its nutritional quality and character, mimicking the sun-drying of old.
