Pasta ingredients
Italian organic durum wheat semolina.
ORGANIC:
Being 100% organic simply allows us to work with raw materials that haven’t been treated with pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers and that have grown in soil that has been respected through rotation farming methods.
Such practices enrich, instead of ‘use’, the soil.
ANALYSES:
When you purchase my pasta you can be sure that you’re NOT buying:
- pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides) used on cereals both in farming and in storage;- chemical plant growth regulators (Chlormequat, Mepiquat) used in farming to - improve plant growth;
- phosphine (antiparasite insecticide)
- glyphosate (antiparasite herbicide)
- mycotoxins (aflatoxins, DON)
- levels of microbiological contamination
STONE MILLING:
Our supplier only uses natural quarry millstones made in La Fertè sous Jouarre - a small village in France that ceased its production of these masterpieces at the beginning of the twentieth century. These extraordinary stones are famous the world over for their hardness and durability, and therefore for the fact that during milling no stone residue is left in the flour and the grain is not heated.
In addition, they as a family personally hammer the stones by hand - a process by which grooves are created and the surface of the stones is sharpened to allow a well-milled flour with the required technical characteristics for baking.

Storage
Cooking instructions
1. Boil water with salt:
Fill a large pot with water (at least 1.5 liters per 150g pasta) and add salt. Bring it to a strong boil over high heat.
2. Cook the pasta:
Gently add the fresh pasta to the boiling water. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir immediately to prevent sticking. The water may stop boiling and foam up briefly. If this happens, reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil. Keep an eye on the pot to avoid boil overs.
3. Cook until al dente:
Cook the pasta for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness and type. Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried. After 2 minutes, taste a piece to check for doneness. It should be al dente (cooked through but still slightly firm to the bite).
4. Drain and toss:
Drain the pasta, reserving some cooking water before discarding. Toss with your chosen sauce (like pesto) in a large bowl, adding reserved water a little at a time for a smooth consistency.
5. Customise with toppings:
Garnish the pasta with your desired toppings.
