Orecchiette are typical of Puglia, a region of southern Italy. Their name comes from the shape, which looks like a small ear and in Italian orecchio means ear, and the suffix 'etto' means 'small'. Orecchiette are about 1.75 cm across and slightly domed with thinner centres compared to the edge giving them a variable texture and a place to catch the sauce. - Made in Italy - Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta - 14% Protein Pasta - Bronze Drawn Pasta - Pasta Di Gragnano IGP - Suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets - Kosher certified - Egg Free - Cooks in 13 minutes in boiling water Garofalo pasta is formed through a bronze die, this method allows a little friction on the surface of the pasta, which becomes slightly rough and porous allowing the sauce to cling and be absorbed into the pasta giving a delightful eating experience
