Truffle Fettuccine - Marcozzi di Campoflione
The Marcozzi di Campofilone pasta factory interprets Truffle Fettuccine as a tribute to the flavours of the Marche woodland undergrowth. Production begins with a noble dough made from Italian durum wheat semolina from a controlled supply chain and selected fresh eggs, enriched with high-quality pieces of summer truffle incorporated directly into the pasta sheet. Following the traditional method of Campofilone, the dough is prepared without any added water, resulting in a dense, flavourful pasta with a protein structure that maintains its shape perfectly. The width of the fettuccine is calibrated to maximise the surface area in contact with the sauce and release the aroma of the truffle during cooking.
The secret of Marcozzi quality lies in the natural drying process carried out with the utmost care. The pasta rests on drying frames for an extended period, a fundamental step that prevents thermal stress and preserves the volatile components of the truffle. The result is fettuccine with extraordinary surface microporosity; the surface is opaque and pleasantly rough, an essential technical characteristic that allows the pasta to absorb the sauce evenly. During boiling, the pasta releases an unmistakable and persistent aroma while maintaining an elastic texture and a satisfying bite that enhances the overall gastronomic experience.
In culinary preparations, these fettuccine are the protagonists of refined and quick dishes: their rich aroma makes them perfect paired with melted butter, Parmesan shavings or white sauces with porcini mushrooms. The pasta's ability to double in volume when cooked in water is testament to the quality of a rich and nutritious pasta sheet, capable of providing a greater yield on the plate compared with mass-produced pasta. Each pack is the result of a controlled supply chain that safeguards the identity of the village and guarantees consumers an intact, safe product faithful to the history of the master pasta makers of Campofilone, bringing the luxury of Marche tradition to the table.
