Typical Apulian Pasta: A Cultural Heritage

The Roots of Apulian Tradition

Pasta is a fundamental element of Apulian cuisine, closely linked to the history and culture of this region. Apulia, with its fertile land and favorable climate, has always been an ideal place for the cultivation of durum wheat, which forms the basis for the production of high-quality pasta. Caserecce are one of the many pasta varieties that tell the culinary story of this land.

This pasta shape, characterized by its spiral form, is perfect for pairing with rich and thick sauces, turning every dish into an unforgettable experience. The preparation of Caserecce follows a traditional process that highlights artisanal techniques and the use of natural ingredients.

The Philosophy of Artisanal Production

Our pasta is produced in a trusted pasta factory where tradition and the quality of ingredients are paramount. The production follows artisanal methods, without the use of preservatives or chemical additives. Each stage of production, from the selection of semolina to the drawing process, is carried out with the utmost care to ensure a final product of excellence.

Ingredients: Quality and Sustainability

Ancient Saragolla Durum Wheat Semolina

One of the main ingredients of our Caserecce is ancient Saragolla durum wheat semolina, a grain with a long history and great versatility in the kitchen. This wheat, grown in the fields of Gargano, is known for its nutritional properties and unique flavor. Compared to modern varieties, Saragolla is rich in proteins and fiber, making it a healthy and nutritious choice.

Pure Water

The quality of the water used in our pasta production is just as important. We use only pure, certified water from uncontaminated sources to ensure that the pasta retains all its organoleptic properties and authentic flavor. The water, combined with the semolina, helps create an ideal gluten structure for pasta that holds its shape well during cooking.

The Production Process of Caserecce

Mixing and Bronze Drawing

The production process of our Caserecce starts with the mixing of ancient Saragolla durum wheat semolina and pure water. The dough is carefully worked so that the gluten mesh forms correctly, giving the pasta the right elasticity. After mixing, the pasta is extruded through bronze dies, creating the characteristic rough surface of Caserecce.

Low-Temperature Drying

After the drawing process, the pasta is lightly pre-dried to maintain its shape and then transferred to drying cells. Here, it is slowly dried at low temperatures (around 40°C) for about 24 hours. This drying process mimics the effect of warm wind, ensuring that the pasta has the right texture and holds well during cooking, without compromising its nutritional properties.
