Garofalo Orecchiette Pasta 500Gm

Garofalo has been making pasta for over 300 years in Gragnano near Naples in Italy, the home of pasta. Made from 100% robust desert durum wheat and shaped using a bronze die gives Garofalo pasta its premium taste and texture.

This pasta shape is typical in Apulia and has become widespread throughout Italy; Garofalo Orecchiette combine the tradition, innovation and excellence of Pasta di Gragnano PGI. Their name comes from the shape, which looks like a small ear and in Italian orecchio means ear, and the suffix 'etto' means 'small'.
Orecchiette are about 1.75 cm across and slightly domed with thinner centres compared to the edge giving them a variable texture and a place to catch the sauce.

 

The roughness of the external surface obtained through bronze drawing enhances the flavour of sauces. Not just with broccoli rabe, as is traditional: this speciality of regional cuisine adapts to the most varying condiments.
