Rustichella d'Abruzzo: Artisan Italian Pasta that Tells the Story of Abruzzo

ABOUT RUSTICHELLA D'ABRUZZO PASTA
In the town of Pianella in Italy's Abruzzo region, artisan pasta maker Gianluigi Peduzzi of Rustichella d'Abruzzo maintains a proud tradition started by his grandfather in 1923. He starts by choosing the best semolina from select durum wheat and mixing it with pure mountain spring water. The dough is then shaped using the same hand-carved bronze dies that Gianluigi’s grandfather used a century ago, giving the pasta just the right texture to capture all kinds of sauce. Lastly, slow drying in temperature controlled chambers for up to 56 hours imparts flavor and texture unlike any ordinary mass-produced pasta. "The combination of our fertile soil, pure Apennine mountain spring water, and salty Adriatic breezes has long been said to work magic. We hope you enjoy the distinctive flavor and pleasurable 'bite' of our pasta." - Gianluigi Peduzzi
