Strozzapretti Pasta from Rustichella d’Abruzzo

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.

Imagine a whimsical dance on your plate. Rustichella d'Abruzzo Strozzapreti pasta, long and twisted like playful fingers, twirls with a touch of olive oil.  Legend whispers of its origin – a sly wink from mischievous restaurateurs to avoid feeding greedy priests the more expensive cuts of meat.

A Legacy of Artisan Craft: Hailing from the Abruzzo region of Italy, Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been crafting exceptional pastas since 1924. Their Strozzapreti is a testament to their dedication to tradition with a touch of playful spirit.  Made with durum wheat semolina from select sources and pure mountain spring water, it boasts a unique texture and flavor that surpasses anything you've experienced before.

Bronze-Drawn for Sauce Shenanigans: Unlike mass-produced strozzapreti, Rustichella d'Abruzzo's twists and turns are born from the bronze-drawing technique. This time-honored method creates a slightly rough surface, textured like miniature brushstrokes.  These aren't imperfections; they're opportunities for delicious mischief. The roughened surface allows sauces to cling with playful fervor, ensuring every bite is a delightful surprise.

Slow-Dried Perfection: Patience is key at Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Their Strozzapreti is air-dried for up to 56 hours at low temperatures. This slow drying process allows the pasta to develop a deeper flavor and a more al dente texture,  resulting in delightfully chewy twists that hold their shape beautifully, no matter the sauce.

A Canvas for Culinary Capers: Strozzapreti isn't just for recreating classic Italian dishes. Its playful shape and ability to hold flavor unlock a world of culinary possibilities, both traditional and unexpected.
