Mafaldine Italian Pasta di Gragnano | USDA Certified Organic | 17.6 Ounce | 500 Gram

The Mafaldine, a typical pasta format from Gragnano, Italy, has been reproposed by the Pastai di Gragnanesi. This short, curled pasta was originally named after Mafalda di Savoia, who was born in 1902, though the format had existed for much longer. The Mafaldine, also known as Reginette, are an excellent choice for "mixed pasta" dishes, as they are the broken version of the longer Mafaldina.

The Mafaldine Pastai Gragnanesi I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication) are a special long cut, shaped like a ribbon and enriched by precious curls. The origin of this unique shape is believed to be inspired by a beautiful girl named "Mafalda" with curly hair, or by the princess Mafalda di Savoia. This pasta cut originates from Naples, Italy, and is produced by the Cooperativa Pastai Gragnanesi IGP.

The factory of the Pastai Gragnanesi has a vertical (rather than horizontal) development, which is an architectural anomaly that supports the entrenchment of the pasta in the tradition of Gragnano. This unique structure allows the preservation of the old and tried processing methods and the manual skills necessary to ensure a better quality pasta.

The Italian Pasta di Gragnano is known for its chewier, nuttier, and rougher texture compared to most supermarket brands. This 17.6-ounce (500-gram) package of Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication) is 100% Organic Italian Wheat, USDA Certified Organic, and imported directly from Gragnano, Italy.
