Trofie 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.

A Legacy of Artisan Craft:  Hailing from Liguria, Italy, Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been crafting exceptional pastas since 1924, using time-honored methods passed down through generations. Their trofie is a testament to this dedication. 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.

Hand-Rolled for Sauce Affinity: Unlike mass-produced trofie, Rustichella d'Abruzzo's shapes are born from a skilled hand. Each corkscrew is hand-rolled on a special tool, creating a slightly rough surface with captivating curves. This isn't a shortcut; it's an invitation for your chosen sauce to embrace every nook and cranny. The hand-rolled texture ensures a delightful symphony of flavor in every bite.

Slow-Dried Perfection: Patience is a virtue at Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Their trofie 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 corkscrews that hold their shape beautifully, no matter the sauce.
