La Fabbrica della Pasta

Jumbo Pasta Shells and Terracotta Bowls

Located in Gragnano, La Fabbrica della Pasta is famous for its production of pasta, or "macaroni". Made from simple ingredients, Gragnano is said to be produced with three different levels of work: at the household level where women vie against each other for the most fusili hand wraps in one hour, in the artisan level where essential secrets and traditions are handed down from father to son to achieve a product of excellent quality, and the industrial level for a consistently good pasta. Created by selecting the best corn and rice flour and adding spring water, the Caccavella past is allowed to dry slowly and gently at a low temperature, and then packaged beautifully. Net. wt. 4.4 ounces. Imported.
