Gentile Gnocchetti - Pasta di Gragnano PGI - 500g

🏛️ Origin & Craftsmanship

The Gnocchetti from Pastificio Gentile come from Gragnano, the "pasta capital" of Italy. Since the 16th century, this town in Campania has been synonymous with premium, artisanal pasta. Since 1876, the Gentile family business has been producing pasta using traditional methods and proudly bears the "Pasta di Gragnano IGP" seal – a protected geographical indication that guarantees the highest quality.

🌾 Ingredients with a History

Only Italian durum wheat of the Senatore Capelli variety is used – an ancient, high-quality, and particularly flavorful wheat strain. This creates a dough that is pressed through bronze dies. The result: a velvety, slightly rough surface that perfectly absorbs sauces.

🔥 Gently dried – with time and patience

After shaping, the pasta is dried slowly for up to 42 hours at a maximum of 50 °C. This gentle method preserves the aromas, ensures a perfect bite, and makes the pasta particularly easy to digest.

Gnocchetti are small, shell-shaped pasta with a ridged surface.
