In traditional Apulia cooking, orecchiette are cooked in boiling water with broccoli or potatoes and served with a tomato sauce and sheep's cheese, or with garlic and Oil This pasta is also known as Recchie and is served with vegetable ragù, or lamb and ricotta ragù.

  • SLOW DRYING We still use the same method today to best preserve the natural flavor and aroma of wheat and the natural color of our semolina for a superior quality pasta
  • COARSE-GRAIN SEMOLINA We use only "coarse"-grain semolina flour in order to preserve the integrity of the gluten and obtain a pasta which is always "al dente"
  • COLD MAJELLA MOUNTAIN WATER We make our dough solely with cold water from the Majella mountains, at a temperature of less than 59° F ensuring perfect firmness when cooked
  • BRONZE-DRAWN TEXTURE We craft our pasta with bronze draw plates to guarantee the ideal porosity to best capture the sauce
