Why Heritage Grains
-
Solina grain (Tagliatelle Solina) — an ancient Abruzzo mountain soft-wheat landrace, cold-hardy and naturally aromatic; delivers delicate nutty/cereal notes and a silky bite.
-
Senatore Cappelli (Sedanini, Paccheri rigati) — a historic Italian durum selected in the early 1900s, prized for flavour and firm structure; ours is grown and milled in Abruzzo near Gran Sasso.
-
Selected durum wheat (Calamarata, Chitarra, Fusillini) — a curated blend of Italian durum flours developed to highlight each grain’s best traits, noted for amber colour and slightly coarser semolina.
All are bronze-drawn and slow-dried for superior sauce cling and authentic al dente texture.
How to cook & pair
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, then salt (≈10 g per 1 L). Add pasta to boiling salted water.
Cook to "al dente"until 2 minutes before the time on pack and start tasting. Move pasta to a pan with sauce and toss 2 minutes to finish cooking—better sauce absorption, glossy al dente. Serve immediately.
Reserve some pasta water and toss with sauce off the heat.
Pairings:
-
Ragù & slow-cooked sauces (Tagliatelle, Capellini, Chitarrina, Paccheri rigati).
-
Seafood & light tomato (Linguine, Tagliolini, Calamarata).
-
Creamy & vegetable sauces (Paccheri, Sedanini, Chitarra, Fusillini).
How to choose your pasta shape
-
Long cuts (Capellini, Linguine, Chitarrina): best with seafood, light tomato, oil-based sauces.
-
Ribbon cuts (Tagliatelle, Tagliolini): ideal for ragù, creamy mushroom, truffle.
-
Short shapes (Paccheri, Calamarata, Fusillini, Sedanini): great with chunky vegetables, meat sauces, and baked dishes.
-
Heritage grains (Solina, grano duro Cappelli ): pronounced aroma, firm bite, excellent digestibility.
Cooking tips for perfect al dente
Use plenty of salted water (10 g salt per 1 L). Start tasting 1 minute before the suggested time. Save ½ cup of pasta water and finish in the pan with the sauce for glossy emulsification.
