Sage Fettuccine - Marcozzi di Campoflione
The Marcozzi di Campofilone pasta factory interprets Sage Fettuccine as a versatile and refined gastronomic base. Production begins with the creation of a dense and silky dough made from Italian durum wheat semolina and selected fresh eggs, enriched with pieces of sage that are evenly distributed throughout the pasta. Following the historic method of the village, the dough is processed strictly without the addition of water, resulting in a protein-rich pasta with a firm protein structure that holds its shape perfectly, ensuring an even distribution of the balsamic note in every single fettuccine.
The secret behind Marcozzi quality lies in the natural drying process, carried out with the utmost delicacy on cellulose frames. This prolonged resting period at mild temperatures prevents the sage's essential oils from being altered, preserving the golden-yellow colour of the pasta sheet and the freshness of its aromatic component. The result is a fettuccine with extraordinary surface microporosity; the surface is matte and rough, a fundamental technical characteristic that allows the pasta to hold the sauce instead of letting it slide to the bottom of the plate. During cooking, the fettuccine release a refreshing herbal aroma while maintaining an elastic texture and a satisfying bite that enhances the flavour of the wheat and egg.
In culinary applications, these fettuccine are the protagonists of delicate and fragrant dishes: their already aromatic base makes them ideal to pair with toasted walnuts, diced pumpkin or simply a veil of melted butter that enhances their balsamic note. The pasta's ability to double in volume when cooked in water is evidence of the quality of a dense and nutritious pasta sheet, capable of offering a greater yield on the plate compared with industrial production. Each package is the result of a controlled supply chain that safeguards the identity of Campofilone and guarantees consumers an intact, safe product faithful to the history of the master pasta makers of the Marche region.
