THE AGRICULTURAL PASTA FACTORY

We are committed to growing our wheat without the use of herbicides or any other type of chemical substances, because if we want to bring a unique product to our table, we must take an example from the past, when chemical fertilisers and herbicides did not exist.
Bringing a healthy and natural product to the table has been, and will be in time to come, our main objective.
The pasta made from our wheat is characterised by its high digestibility, and a flavour so special that it can be enjoyed without seasoning, just as it was 100 years ago!

The processing

The processing

Our sicilian wheat is the protagonist


The bronze drawn pasta is obtained by mixing sicilian semolina with pure water, using a long drying process at low temperatures.
The bronze die have a particular structure, in fact the pasta does not come out smooth like the common one, but rough, which allows you to incorporate any type of sauce into the pasta.

A crucial step in the artisanal processing of pasta is the drawing of the semolina dough with water, which must pass through the 'matrix' (the moulds that shape the dough).
This die has a three-helix shape, as in this particular example, and will reproduce our classic fusillo.
After that, a timed blade will cut the fusilli to the desired length, ready to begin the long process of drying the pasta, which will last up to 36 hours depending on the size being produced.

In detail, a matrix looks like this. This concerns a special format, 'large' in size and asymmetrical. In order to increase the pressure exerted by the kneader even further, holes can be seen on the inside of the die, which channel the dough into an intermediate chamber in which the pressure exerted by the kneader will increase even more. The dough will now be able to flow out of the matrix frontally in a homogeneous manner, having assumed the desired shape.

The pores formed on the surface of the pasta are much appreciated by pasta lovers because it is precisely this roughness that gives it the ability to hold all kinds of sauces. Subsequently, the long drying process at low temperature is made possible by bronze drawing, which guarantees the preservation of all the minerals and vitamins of our wheat.

THE SPICES

Selection of the world's best spices

Now all that is missing is a drizzle of Sicilian olive oil to enjoy a unique dish.
Just as one pairs a red or white wine with meat or fish, pasta can also be prepared by combining semolina with a special spice, which we have carefully chosen for its qualities, aromas and the flavour that emanates in the mouth at first taste.
