Bronze-drawn and slowly dried by Pasta Bertoli, in Santa Luce.

In short

Saffron provides the color and aroma, and it truly does: it's an ingredient in the dough, not a coloring agent added for show.

The yellow you see on the plate is from the flower, not from an additive.

In the kitchen

How long it takes, and what goes on top.

During cooking, do not stir the pasta until the end.

Goes well with White sauces, seafood, cream, and speck.

The pasta workshop

What is inside, and how it is made.

Smooth surface

The sauce slides off and gathers at the bottom of the plate.

Bronze-drawn

The bronze die leaves the surface rough: the sauce finds a grip and stays on the pasta instead of sliding into the plate.

Pasta Bertoli

A family farm in Santa Luce: it sows its own organic wheat, mills it and extrudes it through bronze dies without it ever leaving the gate. A closed supply chain, slow drying up to thirty hours, two ingredients only.
