These spaghetti are Pasta di Gragnano IGP (Protected Geographical Indication), made from 100% organic Italian durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is USDA Certified Organic and comes from Gragnano, near Naples. It is made by the Cooperativa Pastai Gragnanesi.
The pasta is shaped on a bronze die, kneaded carefully and dried slowly at low temperatures. The long, round spaghetti dry for 3 days. This leaves the surface rough and the color straw-yellow.
When cooked, the pasta cooks evenly, does not stick together and keeps its shape. It stays elastic and firm to the bite, with a taste of durum wheat. It can be served with hot or cold tomato or vegetable sauces, spicy sauces with oil and chili, or fish and shellfish sauces.
