Trofie Pasta from Rustichella d’Abruzzo

Regular price $7.25 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.

Embrace the Twirl: Rustichella d'Abruzzo Trofie Pasta at Olive This Olive That - A Symphony of Sauce and Shape

Imagine a plate adorned with playful corkscrews. Rustichella d'Abruzzo Trofie, a whimsical dance of twisted shapes, glistens with a touch of olive oil, beckoning exploration. As you twirl a forkful, the delightfully curved strands yield with a satisfying al dente bite. Each corkscrew captures your chosen sauce within its grooves, ensuring a delightful burst of flavor in every mouthful. This isn't just trofie; it's an invitation to a twirling adventure for your taste buds.

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.

A Canvas for Culinary Twists: Trofie's captivating shape and ability to hold sauce unlock a world of culinary possibilities. From classic Ligurian dishes to unexpected flavor combinations, it's the perfect partner for your culinary adventures.
