It is a known fact that true craftsmen are very meticulous. Rustichella d'Abruzzo is no different, with careful checks in all of the production phases, starting with the selection of excellent raw ingredients.

Up to now, quality wheat semolina, bronze moulds and low drying temperatures have been the factors, which have always contributed to making a coarse and tasty product. Coarse, as the extrusion with the bronze mould makes the pasta coarse so that the sauce takes well to the pasta; tasty because during the long drying period at 35 degrees, a fermentation process takes place, which gives a special taste to the pasta. We normally invite our clients to taste our pasta with a trickle of extra virgin olive oil.

This is how tradition and technology live in harmony, to give life to great specialities like once before, which are guaranteed by the ISO 9002 certificate.
