Mafaldine Italian Pasta di Gragnano | I.G.P. Protected | USDA Certified Organic | 17.6 Ounce | 500 Gram

The Mafaldine Pasta is a special long cut shaped like a ribbon enriched by precious curls. The origin of this shape seems to refer to a pretty girl named "Mafalda" with curly hair, who inspired the pasta maker, or to the princess Mafalda di Savoia. This cut is originated from Naples, Italy. The factory of Pastai Gragnanesi has a vertical (not horizontal as the modern one) development. This architectural anomaly supports the entrenchment of the pasta in the tradition of Gragnano pasta, because it saves the old and tried processing methods and the manual skill to assure a better quality pasta. The Italian Pasta di Gragnano is chewier, nuttier and more rough textured than most supermarket brands.
