Peperoncino Pasta from Rustichella d’Abruzzo

Regular price $7.75 USD

Established in 1924, Rustichella pasta is made with selected durum wheat grown in the Abruzzo region and spring water from the Apennine mountains. The wheat is stone ground and mixed to form a dough that is extruded through bronze dies. These dies create a rough surface texture which enables sauce to cling to the pasta and give the pasta it’s unique grainy surface. The pasta is dried at low temperatures for approximately 50 hours, and it is this slow fermentation process that gives the pasta a superior taste and guarantees even cooking.

A Spicy Legacy:  Hailing from the Abruzzo region of Italy, Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been crafting exceptional pastas since 1924. Their Peperoncino pasta is a testament to their dedication to bold flavors. Made with durum wheat semolina infused with fiery peperoncino (chili peppers), it boasts a unique texture and a heat that will tantalize your taste buds.

Bronze-Drawn for Fiery Flavor: Unlike mass-produced pasta, Rustichella d'Abruzzo's Peperoncino strands are bronze-drawn. This traditional technique creates a rougher surface, textured like miniature mountains. These aren't imperfections; they're flavor highways, ensuring every bite is infused with the vibrant essence of the peperoncino.

Slow-Dried Perfection: Patience is key at Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Their Peperoncino pasta is air-dried for up to 56 hours at low temperatures. This slow drying process allows the pasta to develop a deeper flavor profile, where the heat of the peperoncino melds beautifully with the rich taste of the wheat. The result? A perfectly al dente texture that holds its shape, ensuring a fiery flavor explosion in every mouthful.
