AFELTRA - Short Ziti 100% Italian Wheat Gragnano Pasta I.G.P. 500g

The Afeltra rigate short ziti, made with carefully selected semolina from 100% Italian wheat, are mixed with water from the Lattari mountains, bronze-drawn, and slowly dried for up to 48 hours. Their unique shape makes them suitable for thick and flavorful sauces which, thanks to the pasta's particular roughness, cling to the surface, delivering an exceptional taste. Try them with fish, meat, or vegetable sauces. Neapolitan tradition calls for them to be seasoned with classic Genovese sauce (a sauce made by slow-cooking onions and meat) or with eggplants and caciocavallo cheese.

Ingredients: durum wheat semolina, water.
contains gluten

The award-winning Pastificio Olimpio Afeltra was founded in 1848 and is located in the heart of Gragnano. In a monumental building dating back to the early 19th century, 5,000 kg of pasta are produced daily with full respect for the artisanal method. The finest durum wheat semolina arrives and is analyzed with each delivery to ensure it meets the required excellence standards in terms of protein, gluten, and ash content. The dough and pre-kneading are done under vacuum, very slowly, using the purest water from the Monti Lattari of Gragnano. The drawing is exclusively bronze, and drying lasts from 24 to 52 hours, depending on the shapes, with temperatures never exceeding 48 degrees Celsius.
