PREMIUM DURUM WHEAT ITALIAN PASTA - FUSILLI (6 X 500G) IN SOUTH AFRICA

A great price for authentic, imported Italian pasta at just over R24 a packet. The most delicious pasta begins with the type of wheat used, and this imported pasta is made using only the highest quality durum wheat produced exclusively in Italy. Durum is a very hard wheat that has a beautiful yellow color, even when cooked. The hard durum wheat produces a pasta that can be cooked in the traditional Italian al dente style, just like a Mamma likes to make it! Many pastas are created with softer wheat grains, which creates a softer pasta that cannot be cooked al dente ! The pasta is then made by the 'trafilatura al bronzo' process - an ancient method to create pasta using bronze processing plates to draw the pasta out into the different shapes. The texture of these antique plates creates of rough and porous surface on the pasta that you can see and feel. This is one of the little secrets of pasta...that rough texture is exactly what makes the pasta absorb so beautifully the flavours of your pasta sauce! The pasta does not contain eggs.
