Pasta di Gragnano Pasta Faella is crafted according to tradition in the legendary birthplace of Italian dried pasta, Gragnano. Pastificio Faella Faella has been producing pasta since 1907, when Gaetano Faella founded the family company in Gragnano, a town south of Naples in the region of Campania. Gragnano is considered the birthplace of Italian dried pasta; according to legend, the breezes that flow from the mountains to the sea created the perfect conditions for drying pasta, and until the last century, all Gragnano families made and dried pasta in the streets. Today, the rich, nutty aroma of pasta still wafts through the streets,. Artisanal Pasta Production The pasta is extruded through traditional bronze dies created specifically for each shape, and is air dried naturally for at least two days - unlike industrial pasta that is dried in less than an hour at high temperatures in electric ovens. According to Sergio Faella, in industrial pasta production, during high-temperature drying the pasta undergoes a kind of plastification, which causes it to absorb less water; in contrast, artisanal pasta expands visibly in water, is more easily digested, and gives a greater sense of satiety. Real Italian Pasta at its Best This pasta is real Italian pasta at its best. When cooked, this pasta fills the room with the intense aroma of freshly baked bread and toasted grain. Its slightly rough, porous texture creates an ideal surface for collecting sauces, and its consistency is firm and chewy - just be sure to cook it al dente to fully savor its flavor and texture! Pasta Faella is made from nothing but the highest quality durum wheat and pristine spring waters from the Lattari mountains. Review: Real Italian goodness - There are good pastas, and then there is Faella! Mixed with the Gustarosso San Marzano tomatoes,everybody thinks I’m Italian! Gustiamo has the best! The tomato paste takes your food to the next level. I can’t recommend it enough. Review: Faella! Best dry pasta ever! - Faella is the best, most flavorful, and well-textured pasta we ever experienced. It was a dream. It was a recommendation by a Washington Post food columnist in an article about fresh pasta versus dry pasta. My guests complimented how much my pasta cooking had improved, but all I did differently was use Faella. It makes that much of a difference. The vendor is Gustiamo, a small vendor from the Bronx in New York that specializes in importing real Italian ingredients from Italy. They did a great job with shipping and packaging. I feel guilty for ordering such a small quantity. I am going to order more next time. Thank you! Ciao! -s.
