Afeltra, Organic Tortiglioni Pasta (EATALI collection)

Expertly crafted by Afeltra, this pasta is made according to time-honored traditions in Gragnano, Campania. As early as the 11th century, the first flour mills were constructed along the waterways flowing from Monti Lattari. Today, the more things change, the more they stay the same: since 1848, Afeltra continues to make pasta in the same pastificio using the same water from Monti Lattari and air-drying each shape in that same Mediterranean breeze.

Tortiglioni Pasta: Tortiglioni is a short cut pasta in a twisted tube shape with vertical ridges that spiral around the noodle. While it is similar to the famous tube-shaped rigatoni, tortiglioni is twisted and a bit thinner. The sturdy shape and twisted grooves of tortiglioni pasta allow it to capture richer, heartier sauces and ragùs.

Ingredients: organic drum wheat, semolina, water
