Gentile Caserecce - Pasta di Gragnano PGI - 500g

🏛️ Pasta Tradition from Gragnano

Gragnano, located between Naples and Sorrento, has been known for its pasta since the 16th century. The unique combination of a mild climate, sea air, and the purest spring water from the Monti Lattari creates ideal conditions for pasta production. Pastificio Gentile, founded in 1876, harnesses these natural conditions to produce pasta using traditional methods.

🌾 High-Quality Durum Wheat & Bronze Dies

Only high-quality Italian durum wheat semolina is used for the Caserecce. The dough is pressed through bronze dies, which gives the pasta its characteristic rough surface – perfect for holding sauces. The pasta is then dried slowly at low temperatures to preserve its flavor and nutrients.

🍝 Versatile & Delicious

The unique shape of the Caserecce makes it the ideal pasta for a variety of sauces – from classic tomato sauces to creamy pestos and hearty ragùs. A true delight for every pasta lover!
