Tagliolino - Pastificio Italyca
Tagliolini Bio by Pastificio Italyca are an ode to culinary refinement, where the delicacy of the shape meets the robustness of organic durum wheat semolina, selected from some of the finest crops in Italy. Production takes place in the heart of the Matera Hills, an area historically devoted to high-quality cereal cultivation, where the climate and clean air favour optimal grain maturation. Every stage of production is designed to preserve the integrity of the cereal, resulting in pasta with a natural straw-yellow colour and the fragrant aroma of fresh semolina, capable of transforming even the simplest recipe into a fine-dining experience.
The secret behind their texture lies in the bronze-die extrusion, which creates a microscopic yet essential porosity on the delicate surface of the tagliolini. This process allows the pasta to absorb sauces with exceptional ease, creating a perfect harmony between the starchy structure and the chosen ingredients, whether delicate pestos, vegetable creams or white sauces. This is followed by slow drying at low temperatures, a process requiring patience and expertise to prevent such a fine pasta shape from becoming fragile. This method preserves its organoleptic qualities and ensures excellent cooking firmness, with a texture that remains elastic and lively on the palate.
Choosing Tagliolini from Pastificio Italyca also means supporting the social project of Cooperativa Gustolibero, which promotes the revitalisation of the Lucanian territory through gastronomic excellence. The versatility of this shape is particularly noteworthy: although it is a long pasta, its delicate texture makes it ideal for enhancing the aromatic notes of truffles, cardoncelli mushrooms or Mediterranean citrus zest. The transparency of the short supply chain and the complete absence of synthetic chemical substances make this product an excellent choice for those who value conscious, high-quality nutrition, bringing to the table the authentic flavour and thousand-year-old culture of a land proud of its traditions.
