DeLallo Acini di Pepe, Pastina Pasta

Acini di Pepe is a tiny pasta shape known as pastina. Acini di Pepe are tiny little balls of pasta named for their tiny “peppercorn” shape. Small and spherical, Acini di Pepe pasta is best known as the star of the beloved classic, Italian Wedding Soup. Pasta is best known for its role in the beloved Italian Wedding Soup. DeLallo Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content. It is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. Pasta is slowly extruded for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma. Known as a soup cut in broth-based soups like the famous Italian Wedding Soup, Acini di Pepe is more than a soup cut. Serve it as an excellent couscous-style side dish or cold pasta salad loaded with veggies. MADE IN ITALY: DeLallo Semolina Pasta begins with a high-quality durum wheat.
